Take one more step back: Do you have a local area network, with two or more hosts on it, and does each of those hosts have an assigned IP address? I.e. is host1 *always* 192.168.1.5? If that's the case, then the correct fix is to change the 127.0.1.1 line, replacing 127.0.1.1 with the assigned IP address (192.168.1.5 or whatever it is). The 127.0.1.1 is a fallback for systems where the IP address isn't fixed. It guarantees that your system will be able to look up its own hostname and get *some* kind of working IP address. But if you have a fixed IP address, you should use that instead. If your hosts are getting their IP addresses by DHCP, and you'd like them to get the same address every time so that you *can* make this change to your /etc/hosts files, then you'll want to tell your DHCP server to assign a fixed IP address to each MAC address.
