[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1432?page=comments#action_12418971 ]
Andreas Korneliussen commented on DERBY-1432: --------------------------------------------- The derbynetmats/NSinSameJVM.java test fails often with this error on Windows in the nightly regression tests. I think the reason is that the test starts the network server on ip "0.0.0.0" , which is a special-use interface. On windows, you may often see that network interfaces which are down, get the 0.0.0.0 address. I think this could be fixed by using localhost instead. I do not see how this error is related to the RFE in the bugtraq database: the RFE is to have InetAddress.getLocalHost().. return an IP address which is something else than the loopback interface (which again contradicts the current JavaDoc of InetAddress.getLocalHost()) > derbynetmats/NSinSameJVM.java fails to run due to Warning > "UnknkownHostException: dyn<xx>" on Linux with DHCP generated hostname > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-1432 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-1432 > Project: Derby > Type: Bug > Components: Test > Versions: 10.1.2.1, 10.1.3.0 > Environment: Linux Operating Systems using DHCP IP address *and* hostname > generation > Reporter: Stan Bradbury > Priority: Minor > > The test derbynetmats/NSinSameJVM.java reports that the Network Server failed > to start and aborts on Linux machines that use DHCP to generate a hostname > that reflects the generated IP address (e.g. hostname like: dyn<xx> where > <xx> is the IP address string like 216101116144).
