Why on earth did you reboot? Just edit the file, ping something, see
whether it works, and if it doesn't work, SHOW US THE DETAILS!

Please show us at least the following:
cat /etc/debian_version
uname -a
hostname
cat /etc/hostname
grep hosts: /etc/nsswitch.conf
cat /etc/host.conf
cat /etc/resolv.conf
grep -i WHATEVER /etc/hosts
getent hosts WHATEVER
ping -c1 WHATEVER
... where "WHATEVER" is the name of the machine you are trying to ping,
which is failing.
Also, anything else that you can think of that I might have forgotten.
We *really* need to know how to reproduce this.
