Hello,
I have a Linux (RedHat 4.0)installed machine having 2 network card.
The netwotk configuration is DHCP. I have noticed that now and then
I get for the "echo $HOSTNAME" output as 129.(This is our starting
ip: 129.xxx.xxx.xxx) instead of machine name. When I execute
"ping machinename" from other machine I get correct IP address.
I can logon to this machine from other machines with machinename
as well as with IP address.
After logging if I execute "echo $HOSTNAME" I get the correct name. It
seems
that Iam loosing the name after certain time(no idea when).From DNS
server
I can always reach the machine with name and IP. Problem seems to be
internal since Iam not getting correct name with "echo $HOSTNAME"
command.
I have a second question regarding the netstat output:
I have number of TIME_WAIT situation with netstat command:
Ex: tcp 0 0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:43288
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:37925 TIME_WAIT -
^ ^
I----------------------------I
^
I
Same IP address always(IP address
of the machine itself)
How can I get rid of TIME_WAIT entries from netstat output without
restarting the machine?
(restart network or with arp command?)
Regards,
Kumar
