The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft SNA Server, versions 2.11 SP1, 2.11 SP2, 3.0, 3.0 SP1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

Under SNA Server, the DLSSTAT utility shows which SNA Server computer(s) are
currently using distributed link services. For example

  SnaDlc1 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #1) is used by:
  \\servername

  SnaDlc2 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #2) is used by:

  SnaDlc3 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #3) is used by:
  \\servername
  \\servername2

where the \\servername(s) are the SNA Server running the remote link service(s)
that currently have an active connection through the distributed link.

However, in complex 802.2 distributed link environments, support personnel may
want to know more details about the 802.2 connections, including:

- name of remote connection

- remote adapter address and SAP address

- Token Ring source routing information

STATUS
======

This problem was corrected in the latest SNA Server version 3.0 U.S. Service
Pack. For information on obtaining this Service Pack, query on the following

MORE INFORMATION
================

An enhancement is planned for SNA Server 3.0 SP2. Dlsstat.exe and the SNA Server
DLC link service (Snadlc.dll) will be implemented to display more information
about the state of distributed links. With the updated Dlsstat.exe and
Snadlc.dll applied, DLSSTAT displays the following additional information:

  SnaDlc1 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #1) is used by:
  \\servername TOKEN1    400012201000 04    02 101 1 1fe 2 131

  SnaDlc2 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #2) is used by:

  SnaDlc3 (DLC 802.2 Link Service #3) is used by:
  \\servername  TOKEN1   400012201000 04    02 101 1 1fe 2 131
  \\servername2 TOKEN1   400012102000 04    02 101 1 1fe 3 2dc

where

  TOKEN1 = connection name on remote server
  4000122201000  04  = remote adapter address and remote SAP
  02 101 1 1fe 2 131 = Token Ring source routing information
