NET.CFG Options Reference

 

NetWare DOS Requester Option

 

 

 

Example

To set the first drive to G:, you would place the following

 

 

lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

 

netware dos requester

 

 

first network drive=g

 

 

 

 

FORCE FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=[on off]

Specifies the network drive letter the SYS:LOGIN directory is mapped to after logging out of a server or network. Setting the value to “on” specifies that the drive letter must be the same as the one use in FIRST NETWORK DRIVE.

Previously, if you typed “LOGOUT” from any drive other than a local drive or the FIRST NETWORK DRIVE, the SYS:LOGIN drive would be mapped to the drive letter you logged out from.

Syntax

force first network drive=[on off]

 

 

Default

off

 

 

Modules

GENERAL.VLM

 

 

Example

To specify that the first network drive letter be the same

 

before and after you log out, you would place the

 

following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

force first network drive=on

 

 

For this parameter to work, also set FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=drive.

The drive is map rooted to the first network drive and not to the \LOGIN directory as with the NetWare Shell software such as NETX. You should modify any batch files effected by this change.

HANDLE NET ERRORS=[on off]

Determines the default method for handling network errors.

A network error is generated when the client workstation doesn’t receive a response from the NetWare server. The two values are as follows:

2-75
