PROBLEM: (HPAQ88A35) (Patch ID: OSF375-350301) ******** This patch fixes a problem in which the ping command can time out after invoking the "rcinet restart" command. To reproduce the problem: 1) Run the tcpdump utility on the lan interface and filter on ICMP traffic. 2) Stop and restart internet services using the command "rcinet restart". You may have to restart services more than once to obtain an output similar to the following while invoking the ping command; 10:25:50.802272 0.0.0.0 > 137.35.226.10: icmp: echo request 10:25:51.802272 0.0.0.0 > 137.35.226.10: icmp: echo request 10:25:52.802272 0.0.0.0 > 137.35.226.10: icmp: echo request 10:25:53.802272 0.0.0.0 > 137.35.226.10: icmp: echo request Notice the source field contains 0.0.0.0. The destination cannot return the ICMP echo reply to this address. The ping command will timeout and report 100% packet loss. The ping command can fail for a local destination as well as a remote host.
