Verifying the server address

You can verify your network connection using the Ping command from the Server Object menu.

Database connections not verified

Verifying a network connection confirms that a server is receiving requests on the computer name and port number specified. It does not verify anything about database connections.

To ping a server
  1. Ensure that the database server is running.

  2. In the Server box of the DSEdit session window, click the server entry.

  3. Choose Server Object » Ping Server.

  4. Select the address you want to ping and click Ping.

    A window appears, notifying you whether the connection is successful. A window for a successful connection states that both open connection and close connection succeeded.
