Getting Started with LAN Manager Enhanced

Starting LAN Manager Enhanced

Starting the Workstation Service and Logging On

You must start the Workstation service before you can log on to the network

or use the LAN Manager screen.

To start the Workstation service

• At the MS-DOS prompt, type net start workstation.

After the Workstation service starts, you must log on to the network.

NOTE: When using R:BASE 3.10 on a computer with expanded or Lotus/Intel/Microsoft

(LIM) memory, do not allow the LAN Manager Workstation service to reside in

expanded memory. Make sure the lim parameter has not been set to yes in the

[workstation] section of LANMAN.INI, or start the workstation with the following

command:

net start workstation /lim:no

If the lim parameter is not specified in the LANMAN.INI file, the value will default

to no, and you need not specify it in the net start workstation command.

To log on to the network

1 Start the LAN Manager screen from the MS-DOS prompt by typing net.

NOTE: Typing net /mono improves the LAN Manager screen display for some computer

screens. Try typing the command with and without the /mono option to determine

which display you prefer.

The Log Onto Network box appears.

Your username should appear in the Username text box. A text box is an area in

a dialog box surrounded by brackets that contains or receives information you

type. If your username does not appear in the Username box, see your

administrator. You can specify a different username by typing over the username

that appears.

2 Press TAB to move the cursor to the Password box, and then type your password.

(Your administrator will give you a password. You can change it later.)

The password does not appear when you type it. If you enter the wrong

password, access is denied and you will have to try again. If you enter the wrong

password on several tries, you may be locked out of the system. This protects

your account from anyone who may try to guess your password. Your network

administrator can remove the lock by re-enabling your account.
