NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

Set this to a higher number if you are trying to see resources physically located at a long distance from your workstation.

NOTE:

 

Increasing this number decreases the response time of some utilities.

that is unreachable by using the default value, you could

 

 

 

place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

broadcast timeout=60

 

 

 

 

CACHE BUFFER SIZE=number

Sets the buffer size (in bytes) for the cache buffers that the FIO module uses.

Increasing the value of the parameter allows you to cache larger amounts of data, thereby increasing performance and also memory use.

Syntax

cache buffers size=number

 

 

Default

Media maximum minus 64 bytes

 

(For example, Ethernet: 1500 - 64 = 1436)

 

See the manufacturer’s documentation for the

 

cache buffer size for your media type.

 

 

Range

64 to 4096 bytes

 

 

Modules

FIO.VLM

 

 

Example

To cache larger amounts of data than the default allows,

 

you could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

cache buffers size=1024
