I am running 2.2.2R at home on a P5/60/PCI/EISA, 32M, Adaptec 2742,
3com 3c592. OS/2 is on one SCSI disk, FreeBSD on the other, using
OS/2's boot manager.
I have been seeing some strange behavior in my "netstat -i" numbers
for the loopback. Each time I run "netstat -i", ipkts and opkts are
incremented by 48. Note that it does not matter how long or short I
wait between invocations; the change is always 48, like running
netstat causes it. In the example below, the machine is otherwise
*very* idle, no cron jobs other than the install defaults, and is
the only node up on my net.
Otherwise, everthing is working fine and there seems to be no bad
effect from this situation other than it's bugging me. I have a
similarly configured system at work which does not do this. Does
anyone know an explanation?
Thanks.
Kevin
