    Sunmanagers,
    Apologies if this question should be directed elsewhere...
    I have two Blade Workstations, one allows users to login via
    Gnome with no problems. The other is extremely slow. Gnome takes
    forever to loging.This is most likely an NFS problem as eventually when
    it does login various
    commands that execute off of the NFS server are extremely slow.
    One thing that sticks out is the netstat command. This might not
    be the problem but has anyone ever seen this before?

    This is the output of the machine that works:
    bash-2.05$ netstat -i
    Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
    Queue
    lo0 8232 localhost localhost 973 0 973 0 0
    0
    bge0 1500 ncg002 ncg002 64758 0 77911 0 0 0

    While this is the output of the machine that does not work:
    bash-2.05$ netstat -i
    Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
    Queue
    lo0 8232 localhost localhost 828 0 828 0 0
    0
    bge0 1500 10.209.2.0 10.209.2.92 261776 0 250204 0 0 0

    The outstanding parts are the IP addresses. I don't understand why the
    first has
    the hostname while the second has the IP Address(with wrong entry for
    Net/Dest).
    Where do I change this setting?
    I've checked in /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.bge0, /etc/nsswitch.conf.
    /etc/resolv.conf,
    /etc/inet/*, /etc/netmasks but nothing comes up.

    Again this may or may not be the problem. Several other machines
    exhibiting the same
    behaviour are setup like machine 2 above.
    Thanks in advance.

     Will
