Meaning
Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each
display. Press Ctrl+C to stop redisplaying statistics. If omitted, NETSTAT
prints the current configuration information once.
If you suspect that a LAN card is malfunctioning, use the -e option while
troubleshooting. The -e option displays Ethernet statistics, including discards
and errors.
The -a option provides a detailed display of the active TCP connections of the
port number and network host communicating with that port. This information
is useful when you are attempting to relate TCP port numbers of the various
servers with which the client is communicating.
DNIPINST.NLM is a backup method of extending the schema and creating
the DNS/DHCP Locator and Group objects and the RootSrvrInfo zone.
DNIPINST.NLM can be used if problems occurred during the Netware 6
installation process. Most administrators will not need to use this NLM.
You can use the "-F" command line option in the DNIPINST.NLM to re-create
the DNS/DHCP configuration objects if the initial attempt to set up Novell
DNS/DHCP Services fails during the configuration object creation stage.
When a failure occurs during the object creation phase, we recommend that
you delete the DNS-DHCP (DNS/DHCP Locator), DNSDHCP-GROUP
(DNS/DHCP Group), and the RootSrvrInfo objects (if they have been
created), then use DNIPINST.NLM with the "-F" flag. When the "-F"
command line option is specified, an initial console message confirms the
action and the eDirectory login window appears. After a successful login, the
object eDirectory context query window is displayed. You can enter the data
and create the objects. If a schema extension error occurs, execute
DNIPINST.NLM in the regular mode.
The requirement that the DNS and DHCP servers always have access to the
DNS/DHCP Locator object has been relaxed.
The DHCP server can load without having access to the DNS/DHCP Locator
object. However, the first time the server loads it requires access to the DNS/
