That's what I normally would think, but it doesn't make any sense that the
source AND destination are both localhost or the local IP.  It's as though
the Hobbit server is trying to communicate with itself using network
sockets.  It would make more sense if either the source or destination was
a client IP, but that isn't the case.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I noticed something strange on my Hobbit server, though I'm
not sure if it's a problem or not.  There are about 140 TIME_WAITs from
the local IP of the Hobbit server, and about 30 TIME_WAITs from localhost, all
using port 1984.  They look something like this:<br>

Any idea why there should be so many of them, particularly on the localhost address? 
And any idea if this looks abnormal or not?<o:p></o:p></p>
