Re: netstat freezes
I noticed way back with 3.8 that netstat would sometimes hang on me for a very long time (over two minutes) before spitting out the Active Internet Connections list; once it shows that though, it shows the rest of the lists in an instant. I thought it was just a fluke so I ignored it. But now I've seen it on other systems too, so I'm wondering what's up. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I've search the archives with "netstat hang" and "netstat freeze" and found nothing. What are the actual options you pass to netstat? You know that netstat does DNS lookups by default? Those can cause some massive delays if something does not resolve. Oh, of course. Haha, I'm so silly, I let myself get bit by DNS. Oh well, at least it's in the archives for the next fool. -Nick "Stoopid" questions have a purpose, too ;-) Dhu Probably patronizing most.. but.. A small boost in startup time is noticed when a static IP is used.. however not too much to make a worthwhile difference. If you ever happen to unplug your network and boot the computer, which I do sometimes since I don't want my network connected for security reasons unless I'm using the network.. sometimes you can wonder why it takes longer to boot up; it is usually always because of the DHCP getting tripped up wondering why it can't find the DHCP server and this can hang the computer for a few seconds/half-minutes.

Re: netstat freezes
try using the -n switch, if that works, something is not resolving properly.

netstat freezes
Hi misc, I noticed way back with 3.8 that netstat would sometimes hang on me for a very long time (over two minutes) before spitting out the Active Internet Connections list; once it shows that though, it shows the rest of the lists in an instant. I thought it was just a fluke so I ignored it. But now I've seen it on other systems too, so I'm wondering what's up. Has anyone else seen this behaviour? I've search the archives with "netstat hang" and "netstat freeze" and found nothing. -Nick
