Help with ping6

Please help me with the inability to use
Code:
ping6

Code:
root@server1:/home/server1# ifconfig

root@server1:/home/server1# ping6 localhost
PING localhost(localhost.wmcomputersystems) 56 data bytes
ping: sendmsg: Network is unreachable

I have tried many variations of
Code:
/etc/hosts

Here is the latest and I am sure there are errors.
Code:
#127.0.0.1	localhost
#::ffff:7f00:1	localhost.wmcomputersystems	::1
#::1             localhost.wmcomputersystems     localhost
#127.0.1.1	server1
2620:7:a000::1  server1.wmcomputersystems.com	server1
#127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain localhost
#::1     localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6

::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback


# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
