/etc/hosts
::1 localhost 7rx.dyndns.org
127.0.0.1 localhost 7rx.dyndns.org
# ping `hostname`
usage: ping [-AaDdfnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-i wait] [-l preload] [-M mask | time]
[-m ttl] [-P policy] [-p pattern] [-S src_addr] [-s packetsize]
[-t timeout] [-z tos] host
ping [-AaDdfLnoQqRrv] [-c count] [-I iface] [-i wait] [-l preload]
[-M mask | time] [-m ttl] [-P policy] [-p pattern] [-S src_addr]
[-s packetsize] [-T ttl] [-t timeout] [-z tos] mcast-group
# ping hostname
ping: cannot resolve hostname: Unknown host
Someting i need to restart maybe before //etc/host takes effect?
