know more on /etc/hosts
- by Habi
Can somebody explain what does this mean? Explanation to each line will be helpful. I have mentioned some of my queries in comments too.
127.0.0.1 localhost //According to @Dave, it's machine ip.
127.0.1.1 dell-Inspiron-342 // then what is this ip of?
The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
