Hey all, I'm new to NDT but I'm hoping to get it up and running for use in my
networks. I just built and installed a web100 patched linux kernel 2.6.35 on
debian 6.0. I then built the web100 userland, and ndt. Everything went as
expected with no major hiccups. Now comes the strange part: the ndt server
is somehow coming up with the wrong host names during the run of a test from
the java applet!

For instance assume I run the applet from a box named 'foo1' if I'm watching
the debug of the server I see when it starts the C2S test:

"Opening network interface 'eth0' for packet-pair timing
installing pkt filter for 'host bar1 and port 3377"

Now the strange thing is this is a real and totally unrelated host on my
network! Then during the S2C test I see:

"Opening network interface 'eth0' for packet-pair timing
installing pkt filter for 'host bar2 and port 3379'
Initial pkt src data=806e764
pcap_compile failed unknown host 'bar2'"

This is also very strange because bar2 is not only not the host from which the
test was run, but does not exist on this network.

I'm starting to think I'm crazy.
