Net Pause

Purpose

The net pause command pauses connections to shared resources.

Syntax

net pause {drdr | prdr}

where

drdr

Pauses a workstation’s connections to all shared directories.

prdr

Pauses a workstation’s connections to all shared printer queues.

Comments

Pausing a connection allows you to temporarily use a devicename for a

device at your workstation that is already assigned to a shared resource.

For example, you can connect the LPT1 devicename to a shared printer

queue. If LPT1 is also assigned to a printer attached to your workstation, you

can pause the network connection and print a ﬁle at your workstation’s

printer. To send print jobs again to the shared printer queue with the

devicename LPT1, reactivate the connection with the net continue

command.
