Strange netstat problem

Sunmanagers,
Apologies if this question should be directed elsewhere...
I have two Blade Workstations, one allows users to login via
Gnome with no problems. The other is extremely slow. Gnome takes
forever to loging.This is most likely an NFS problem as eventually when
it does login various
commands that execute off of the NFS server are extremely slow.
One thing that sticks out is the netstat command. This might not
be the problem but has anyone ever seen this before?

This is the output of the machine that works:
bash-2.05$ netstat -i
Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
Queue
lo0 8232 localhost localhost 973 0 973 0 0
0
bge0 1500 ncg002 ncg002 64758 0 77911 0 0 0

While this is the output of the machine that does not work:
bash-2.05$ netstat -i
Name Mtu Net/Dest Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Collis
Queue
lo0 8232 localhost localhost 828 0 828 0 0
0
bge0 1500 10.209.2.0 10.209.2.92 261776 0 250204 0 0 0

The outstanding parts are the IP addresses. I don't understand why the
first has
the hostname while the second has the IP Address(with wrong entry for
Net/Dest).
Where do I change this setting?
I've checked in /etc/hosts, /etc/hostname.bge0, /etc/nsswitch.conf.
/etc/resolv.conf,
/etc/inet/*, /etc/netmasks but nothing comes up.

Again this may or may not be the problem. Several other machines
exhibiting the same
behaviour are setup like machine 2 above.
Thanks in advance.

 Will
