Hi
thanks to all who have replied.
The actual proablem was as Bill has mentioned, some
network changes like new lan config was carried out
but then somebody had changed the hostname to one of
the LAN ip mentioned in /etc/hosts file.
First we tried wit reverting the /etc/hosts file and
swinstall could run successfully.
Also I tested with stopping and restarting swagent,
that also worked.
Best regards
sudhansu
