Pausing and Continuing Connections

Occasionally, you may want to pause network connections to use

devicenames for your workstation’s own disk drives or printers.

To pause network connections

• To pause connections to all shared directories, type net pause drdr.

• To pause connections to all shared printer queues, type net pause prdr.

• To continue connections to all shared directories, type net continue drdr.

• To continue connections to all shared printer queues, type net continue

prdr.

For example, if you assign your workstation’s LPT1 devicename to a shared

printer, you can’t use LPT1 for a local printer. To pause this connection,

type:

net pause prdr

You can now use LPT1 for the printer attached to your workstation.

NOTE: Pausing one printer connection pauses all printer connections.

When you want to use the shared printer again, type:

net continue prdr

Your connections to shared printer queues reactivate.
