ping raspberrypi - doesn't work

[Onira]

ping via name doesn't work, how to fix it?

[pjc123]

You need to set up a "hosts" file on the device you are pinging from.

I tried to set it and still doesn't work.
How did you set yours?

I set it in my DHCP server...
what exactly have you tried

[Onira]

I changed the line
127.0.1.1 to my RPi's IP

[joan]

In etc/hosts add a line of the form

192.168.1.24 pluto

with the IP address and name of your Pi. Do this on each machine you want to access your Pi from.

p.s. put the 127.0.0.1 line back as it originally was.

127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 ?
I did same, set to my RPi IP (192.168.1.114) and it didtn't work

Code: Select all

# Do not alter the loopback entry
#
127.0.0.1	loopback localhost loghost

• 127.0.0.1 loopback localhost loghost
  #127.0.0.1 localhost
  ::1 localhost
  #::1 localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
