netstat -a is hanging??

Hi,

I am on Solaris 10 server. I wanted to see a port is ESTABLISHED or in the LISTEN mode. But when I do
Code:
netstat -a |grep 22205

, it's hanging. I have waited over two minutes.

Is it possible, something else is wrong on the server? I don't see anything on /var/adm/messages file.

Thanks.

May be an issue with DNS. Try
Code:
netstat -an

Without -n, it looks up every IP before it lists it. If there's thousands, that's thousands of DNS lookups. If some of them don't have DNS entries, that's a lot of failed DNS lookups.

I did the netstat -an is so much faster. -a never comes back with the results. Thank you so much.
