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. From the Server Object menu, choose Ping Server.

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

    A window appears, notifying you whether or not the connection is successful. A window for a successful connection states that both open connection and close connection succeeded.
