If a name service, such as NIS or DNS, is being looked at first on the AIX system, before consulting /etc/hosts, then you will not see a change.

If your pc gets it's IP address via DHCP, then you might not have the same IP address after a reboot of the pc. DHCP assigns an IP address per request and once you shutdown the pc, DHCP can assign it to the next pc that request an IP.
