NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

Use this parameter for binder connections if your username and password total more than 32 characters. For this parameter to work, also set BIND RECONNECT=ON.

AUTO RECONNECT=[on off]

When this parameter is set to “on,” the AUTO.VLM program reconnects a client workstation to a NetWare server and rebuilds the workstation’s environment (excluding file-specific items) prior to connection loss.

When this parameter is set to “off,” the AUTO.VLM program load fails at pre-initialization time.

Syntax

auto reconnect=[on off]

 

 

Default

on

 

 

Modules

AUTO.VLM, NDS.VLM

 

 

Example

To make reconnecting to a NetWare server the user’s

 

responsibility, you would place the following lines in your

 

NET.CFG file:

 

netware dos requester

 

auto reconnect=off

 

 

To enable the VLM.EXE program to load the AUTO.VLM file, you must include the VLM=AUTO.VLM parameter and value. You must also load RSA.VLM if you are re-establishing a NetWare Directory Services (NDS) connection, by using the VLM=RSA.VLM parameter.

AUTO RETRY=number

Sets the number of seconds the AUTO.VLM program waits before attempting a retry after receiving a network critical error.
