Yes, you need DNS records or at a minimum a hosts (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) entry on the machine that references SharePoint and the IP of the host box. Furthermore, make sure you configure host headers (under bindings) in your SharePoint IIS and Alternate Access Mappings in SharePoint so that SharePoint can properly respond to user requests. Keep in mind there are loopback issues when you’re attempting to load SharePoint locally per my article on BackConnectionHostnames: http://www.sharepointassist.com/2010/02/11/unable-to-browse-sharepoint-locally/

I cannot believe no one has posted anything on here before!!

Just came across your site and it’s been extremely helpful. Currently installing it on my MBP for development and hopefully demos.

Many thanks for taking your time to put this online.
