Netstat reports properly... I think the issue is that an 'nslookup [ip]' will resolve to a host where an 'nslookup [host]' will not resolve to [ip]. Its the way the DNS on the other end is set up, but I can't exactly change that... I'd just like a 'w' to be able to report properly (ie. if [host] doesn't resolve to [ip], then just report [ip] with a 'w').. or something. =\ On Fri, 18 Oct 2002, Crist J.
