Abbreviated output from netstat -an looks like this:
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:515 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 192.168.1.11:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:53 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:*
udp 0 0 192.168.1.11:123 0.0.0.0:*
udp 0 0 127.0.0.1:123 0.0.0.0:*
My question is, why is the local host sometimes identified
as 0.0.0.0, othertimes as 192.168.1.11 (its ip address),
and other times as 127.0.0.1?
Thanks,
Joel
