admintool: Received communication service error 4

Cause

AdminTool could not start a display method because a remote procedure call timed out, so it can't send the request. This error results when admintool(1M) tries to access the NIS or NIS+ tables when networking is not enabled.

Action

Verify the system network status with ifconfig -a to make sure the system is connected to the network. Make sure the ethernet cable is connected and the system is configured to run NIS or NIS+.
