To enable a workgroup to display in the WGLIST utility

 

 

 

 

 

that is not reachable by using the default value, you could

 

 

 

 

 

place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

 

 

 

 

netware dos requester

 

 

 

 

 

broadcast retries=10

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BROADCAST SEND DELAY=number

 

 

Sets the number of ticks the NetWare DOS Requester software waits

 

 

between performing any function.

 

 

Set this to a higher number if you are using slow links such as modem or

 

 

serial links on your network.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

Increasing this number decreases the response time of some utilities.
