Your /etc/hosts file may be incorrect. Try editing it to something like the following, which is using two example IP addresses for private and public network interfaces in the 3rd and 4th lines. The first two lines are standard for everyone:
127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain
::1 localhost localhost.localdomain
192.168.1.xx website.com website
