I populated /etc/hosts with device names and IP addresses. For example:

chassisOne     10.0.0.1
chassisTwo     10.0.0.2
.
.
.
etcetera.

I am able to ping the IP address of both chassisOne and chassisTwo. Pinging the hostname returns:

ping: unknown host chassisOne

My nsswitch.conf file is:

host:   files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns

What am I missing?

I am trying to let other computers to access my local server but I tried myself locally that I cannot access it locally even myself.

Several things you should know:

My target

Visit my server via http://172.26.141.106:5201/

What I can do now

I can access my server via these two ways:

IP configuration

Result of ifconfig | grep inet

      inet addr:172.17.0.1  Bcast:0.0.0.0  Mask:255.255.0.0
      inet addr:172.26.141.106  Bcast:172.26.141.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
      inet6 addr: fe80::f767:cd56:9641:d3a9/64 Scope:Link
      inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
      inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host

Hosts

Output of cat /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain localhost
127.0.0.1   hearen.pc
127.0.0.1   hearen-OptiPlex-7050
127.0.0.1   staging
127.0.0.1   arthas
172.26.141.106  localhost hearen.pc

Firewall

$ sudo ufw disable
Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
$ sudo ufw status
Status: inactive

Is there some way that I missed out? All I want is to let others access my server via http://172.26.141.106:5201/

Any help will be appreciated :)

Updated 2019-01-10

With the help of @Ed King, I check the ports via sudo lsof -i -P -n | grep LISTEN | grep 5201 and only 127.0.0.1 was listenned on.

Problem solved after I configured my Angular server to listen on 0.0.0.0 .

firewall hosts localhost 16.04

I have added these lines to the hosts file: 

127.0.0.1 localhost adobe.com
127.0.0.1 adobe.com

It works perfectly on windows. But in Ubuntu 11.10 when I try to access it using Firefox the website is opening.

Google chrome though supporting /etc/hosts configuration. Google chrome is displaying:

"It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet."
