NETSTAT does not return ESTABLISHED even though it is …

[Judy Johnson]

We have an intersite connection…..client / server

We are seeing on only 1 where we do a netstat -an | grep xxxxx(port)

and we get nothing… We know this port is established and is getting data.

We have changed the port, hardcoded the port…and still nothing…

All other connections are fine.

Judy,

Just out of curiosity, what port# are you using?  You want to make sure to avoid the ephemeral range (32768-65535), and also don’t go above 65535.

The port we were using 20136….that would not netstat…then changed to even a lower number, no luck……now we are using 72127….no luck again.

this is strange. our network people dont know either.

also, Jim…these are Intersite connections..only on our networkwork…

I believe anything above 65535 will get re-numbered; I think the OS circles back around; (i.e. 72127-65535 = 6592)….or something like that..

Is it possible you have another client (locally or remotely) trying to connect to your server on that port?

Max. I checked all the sites all the service files and even changed the port 3 times……no one else is using
