Unfortunately, you did not mention the actual output of the
above command (and what exactly you think is wrong with it),
nor did you mention an error message.
Here, it gives (without error):
$ comm -12 --check-order <(sort list1.txt) <(sort list2.txt)
208.78.161.18
208.78.161.19
208.78.161.20
208.78.161.206
208.78.161.207
208.78.161.21
208.78.161.22
208.78.161.224
208.78.161.226
which looks good, and BTW is identical with the output of
$ sort list1.txt list2.txt | uniq -d
Have a nice day,
