NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

For this parameter to function properly, use the NETWARE.DRV version

3.03or later, and include the “network.drv=netware.drv” line under the [boot] heading in the MS Windows SYSTEM.INI file.

This parameter affects the performance of your MS Windows environment.

CONNECTIONS=number

Sets the maximum number of connections the NetWare DOS Requester software supports.

The NetWare DOS Requester supports up to 50 connections in its connection table. A value larger than needed uses memory unnecessarily.

 

 

Syntax

Example

To increase the number of server connections you can

 

 

 

 

have to 12, you would place the following lines in your

 

 

 

 

NET.CFG file:

 

 

 

 

netware dos requester

 

 

 

 

connections=12

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

NOTE:

 

Setting the value to other than 8 might decrease NETX compatibility. Do not use this

 

 

parameter if you are unsure of the maximum number of connections you are making

 

 

to NetWare 3 or earlier servers.

If you lower the number of connections to fewer than 8, ensure that your client workstation does not exceed the number during operation. If the maximum number of connections is exceeded, you might experience some problems with all of your server connections.

DOS NAME=“name”

Sets the name of the operating system used in the shell.
