NET.CFG Options Reference

 

NetWare DOS Requester Option

 

 

 

Example

To make the AUTO.VLM program wait for one minute

 

 

before retrying a connection, you would place the

 

 

following lines in your NET.CFG file:

 

 

netware dos requester

 

 

auto retry=60

 

 

 

 

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.

NOTE:When the value for this parameter is set to 0, the AUTO.VLM program makes no retry attempts.

AVERAGE NAME LENGTH=number

Allows the NetWare DOS Requester to set aside space for a table of

NetWare server names based on the values set for the AVERAGE NAME

LENGTH and CONNECTIONS parameters.

For shorter NetWare server names, you can save some memory by setting the average length to a lower number.

Syntaxaverage name length=number

Replace number with the sum of the average character length of your network server names, divided by the number set in the CONNECTIONS parameter plus 1.
