One Answer:
Hi. It finally worked for me. I had to carry out few steps though. The names were one word without any space within hosts file. Check Resolve MAC addresses Check Resolve network (IP) addresses Thanks for your kind support and looking into this. answered 05 Oct '16, 08:38 Engineer786 The preference option you needed would have been Resolve network (IP) addresses (05 Oct '16, 11:44) grahamb ♦ |

Can you show a (anonymized if necessary) snippet of your hosts file to ensure you have the data in the correct format?
What options do you have selected on the Name Resolution preferences?
