I have edit my /etc/hosts file as below. I am new to mac Os and try to run some codes and test. for that i have to edit /etc/hosts file. But ping for IPs not working as expected. please help me to understand the issue.
# Host Database
#
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
##
127.0.0.1 localhost
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 localhost
127.0.0.1 198.18.0.98
127.0.0.1 70.70.70.70
127.0.0.1 nipuna.lk
# Added by Docker Desktop
# To allow the same kube context to work on the host and the container:
127.0.0.1 kubernetes.docker.internal
# End of section
ping nipuna.lk works fine. ping 70.70.70.70 takes 300-400ms but ping works. but ping 198.18.0.98 is not working. I do not know why this is happening.
My firewall is turned off.
