	; Change the port to 340 (hex)
	port #1 340
	netware dos requester
	; Set up F: as the first drive on network
	first network drive = f

NOTE:	Changing the value setting in the NET.CFG does not change the hardware setting for
	the device you are using. Run the appropriate configuration utility or manually
	change the appropriate jumper settings to correspond with value setting used in the
