I'm trying to reach the same result from within java code.
Sadly, the following code just doesn't seem to cut it through.

The following is printed on my machine:
MAC: 00-1C-C0-F2-BA-89
HOSTNAME: maxim-desktop
IP: 192.168.20.20
HOSTNAME ipv6: fe80:0:0:0:21c:c0ff:fef2:ba89%2
IP ipv6: fe80:0:0:0:21c:c0ff:fef2:ba89%2
- As you can see the hostname output for IPv4 & IPv6 are not the same, I wonder why should it be like this?
- Also, what is the meaning of the
%2that get's attached to ipv6 related queries - Is it a bug in my code or a JVM / Linux kernel issue?
Thank you,
Maxim.
