Windows has yet another version (coming with the MSYS Tools):

NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-n] [-o] [-p Protokoll] [-r] [-s] [-v] [Intervall]

Inside my windows installer, I'm facing exactly the same problem.
Here, I'm using a utility called T4ePingPort which is used to check
whether we can successfully to the daisy repository and wiki. It is
taken from the Tools4ever Command Line Utilities Bundle, which can be
obtained via:
http://www.tools4ever.com/products/free/command/.

I'm wondering whether we shouldn't go the other way and tackling that
issue from the wiki side (besides altering the startup scripts, which
could be  also useful). There was an issue on that (DSY 317) already
which was discarded.
Would be nice if instead on cocoon error page talking about an
initialization error there would be a button "Reconnect" that allows
you to try to connect to the repository again. Now idea how difficult
it would be to implement such a behaviour.
