^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This is your IP address. You used a different one in the hosts
file. Use this one. (The "/24" suffix at the end does not belong to
the address that is to be put in the hosts entry.)

But: If such a hosts entry will work in the future is a different
question. That depends on your network infrastructure and the way
your ethernet interface's IP addresses are defined.

Standard home or SOHO environment is a DHCP server (often from a
DSL router box) that serves out the same addresses to a system each
time it's asked. If that's your environment, it will probably work
for quite some time.

Corporate environments or laptops that are connected to different
networks over time are completely different beasts and are likely
not to work after next boot or at the next network connection.
