The other machines on your network cannot read the /etc/hosts on your web server. The only way you can access the system via hostname is:

1) On your windows machine, add an entry to the hosts file (I don't recall right now where that file is, someone with Windows may be able to help you).
2) On your router, depending on what it is, set an alias for 192.168.2.10 to phobos, and on your other systems make sure 192.168.2.1 (or whatever your router's IP is) is set as your nameserver.

I use a pfSense system as my router/firewall, and this is how I set up my network to resolve hostnames of all my systems.
