IPv6 is probably not disabled - you can verify that from ifconfig -a where you will find ::1 entry most likely.
Your hosts entry should be something like:

Try changing the host file entry to the following;

I didn't see any release of NW doing that so far - so it might be done by either system or some other OS admin.
