NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

It is part of an equation that determines the total time the NetWare DOS Requester waits when attempting to access a locked file. If a client workstation frequently receives error messages when a file is requested, increase the value of this parameter.

	Syntax	lock delay=number
	Default	1 tick
	Range	0 to 255 (approximately six hours)
	Modules	GENERAL.VLM
	Example	To automatically lock files, you could place the following lines
		in your NET.CFG file:
		netware dos requester
		lock retires=50
NOTE:	This number is used for lock types that do not have a wait ability. For locks that have
	a wait ability, the wait time is calculated by multiplying this parameter number by the
	LOCK DELAY number and then multiplying by 2. The resulting number is the time,
	in ticks, the client workstation waits for a lock.

To determine the total time (in ticks) needed to broadcast a name resolution packet across the network, multiply the wait time value by the value used for the LOCK DELAY parameter.

There are approximately 18.21 ticks per second on IBM PCs and compatibles.

LONG MACHINE TYPE=“name”

Tells the NetWare DOS Requester software what type of machine is being used each time the %MACHINE variable is accessed.

Use this parameter and value to set the machine’s search path to the correct version of DOS.
