NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

Example

To save memory by shortening the average name length

 

allowed to eight characters, you would place the following

 

lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

average name length=9

 

 

BIND RECONNECT=[on off]

Automatically rebuilds bindery connections and restores drive mappings and printer connections.

Syntax

bind reconnect=[on off]

 

 

Default

off

 

 

Modules

AUTO.VLM, BIND.VLM

 

 

Example

To make reconnecting to bindery services automatic, you

 

would place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

bind reconnect=on

 

 

To enable the VLM.EXE program to load the AUTO.VLM file, you must include the VLM=AUTO.VLM parameter and value.

For this parameter to work, also set AUTO RECONNECT=ON.

BROADCAST RETRIES=number

Sets the number of times the NetWare DOS Requester software broadcasts a request.

Set this to a higher number if you are not seeing some resources in various utility lists.

NOTE:

Increasing this number decreases the response time of some utilities.
