Verifying the server address
You can verify your network connection by using the Ping command from the
Server Object menu.
Note Verifying a network connection confirms that a server is receiving

anything about database connections.

1 Ensure that the database server is running.
2 Click the server entry in the Server box of the dsedit session window.

A message box appears, to notify you if the connection is successful or not.
A message box for a successful connection states that both Open
Connection and Close Connection succeeded.
Renaming a server entry
You can rename server entries from the dsedit session window.
❖ To rename a server entry:
1 Select a server entry in the Server box.
