Then your connections are on localhost only, usually 127.0.0.1. Were it a remote session, netstatwould supply e.g.
Code:
# netstat -tn
Active Internet connections (w/o servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State      
tcp        0      0 192.168.178.200:445     192.168.178.150:2847    ESTABLISHED 
tcp        0      0 192.168.178.200:139     192.168.178.147:3368    ESTABLISHED 
tcp        0    256 192.168.178.200:22      91.57.50.9:30082        ESTABLISHED

which is two LAN smb sessions and one remote ssh session.

So you mean it is not possible to get the local ip address?
But I am able to get the local ip address when I login using Putty, whats going wrong when I use xterminal (Netsarang's Xclient)

Code:

We are talking localhost, not local IP. Localhost is 127.0.0.1. You can find your local IP with sth like ifconfig or ip addr, depending on the OS you use.

I can see my local IP in my windows using ipconfig.
Question is: Why my server isnt displaying the local ip address ('who' command) when i use remote sessions in xterminal, but when i use putty it is displaying it ?
