How many PCs do you have?
How you PCs get IPs? Manuall or assigned by DHCP (Router etc)?
And in order to work with a DNS server you need to know some concepts, know the records etc etc.
The issue on red doesn't indicate that there's a need for DNS, It shows that the RED can't resolve IPs into domain names, which can be done using host file too, as you already knew.
The simplest solution i can provide is this:
1- Set a manual IP for your PC (Blue) , ie 192.168.1.254
2- Modify the host file on ALL PCs accordingly.

BTW, by installing DNS Server you're buying yourself a learning curve + many problems which is not mentioned in any book.
Anyway, Please specify if it is about learning something new rather than just make it work, then i come with full instructions on how to do so.
