MaahjoorMay 15 2015 — edited May 15 2015

Dear all,

today i installed Oracle Linux 6.5 64 bit on my laptop.

i set the hostname like below

gedit /etc/hosts

127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4

::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6

192.168.1.99  ebs.org  ebs

i disables selinux and firewall.

i have a wifi connected to my home broad band internet. this wifi i use to connect in my college also, i mean it is a dhcp.

now i want to ping my host as follows

ping ebs

i receive Destination Host Unreachable.

the same happens to ip pinging as well.

could somebody tell me how to fix it.

thank you.
