Checking TCP/IP Setup
The first step in checking your configuration is to verify your machine's TCP/IP
setup. LoadRunner includes a utility called Hostinfo (
hostinfo.exe
), located under
LoadRunner's bin directory. This utility provides information about the current
host--local name and local address. It also insures that TCP/IP is properly
installed on the current machine.
When you invoke Hostinfo, it automatically verifies the TCP stack by:
·
retrieving and resolving the local host name
·
retrieving and resolving the IP address
To resolve the IP address, Hostinfo tries to communicate using two UDP sockets
on the same machine. It verifies that the IP address obtained while resolving the
host name is the same as the actual IP address of this host.
