NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
If you are using any application that uses the “netx=off” command, such as Microsoft Office, ensure that this parameter value is set to “on.”
PB BUFFERS=number
Controls the use of the Packet Burst protocol for file input/output.
Packet Burst is automatically enabled in the NetWare DOS Requester software.
The values are as follows:
0 = off
nonzero = on and increases the number of buffers.
Setting this option to 0 decreases memory use and, in some cases, performance.
Syntax | pb buffers=number |
|
|
Default | 3 |
|
|
Range | 0 to 10 |
|
|
Modules | FIO.VLM, IPXNCP.VLM |
|
|
Example | To disable Packet Burst, you would place the following lines |
| in your NET.CFG file: |
| netware dos requester |
| pb buffers=0 |
|
|
PBURST READ WINDOWS SIZE=number
