Hey there,
You may want to look into your wireless router configuration to see if it has an onboard DNS server available. Otherwise you can setup a DNS server on Computer A, however this computer should then be left powered on 24/7. You would then need to make sure the DNS server on Computer A forwards DNS requests up to 192.168.1.1 when it does not hold the zone being requested. You would want to try to set your router to hand out 192.168.1.2 as the resolving name server in its DHCP configuration if possible, otherwise you would need to manually set the resolving name server on your android device.
Quite honestly, it may be easier to edit your hosts file on your android device which can be done manually or there are apps in the Google Play store that do this.
Happy coding,
