With what Craig wrote you should easily be able to recreate the content.
To repeat: /etc/hosts is a plain text file, owned by root:root and chmod
644. Use an editor of choice, mine is "vim". To illustrate you again the
content, here mine as example:

$ cat /etc/hosts

# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.2             serendipity.dogma.lan serendipity

"man hosts" should be explanation enough to understand how the line have
to look like for a correct mapping. Very important is to have a working
mapping for the localhost (so the comment in there).
