in Mac or Linux, we can simply define IP and hostname in /etc/hosts. Then we can call another local computer with hostname (not with IP) we defined. But in windows, How can I do that? Where can I edit such configuration?

The hosts file in Windows can be found at
%SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
this is typically:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
The format in Windows is the same as in Linux.
