Starting and Stopping LAN Manager and NetWare
Starting and Stopping LAN Manager and NetWare
Your administrator has probably set up your computer in the following way:
• LAN Manager starts automatically when the computer is turned on, and you
don’t ever need to stop it.
• NetWare does not start automatically. When you need to use NetWare, you start
it by typing nwload. When you are done, you stop it by typing nwunload. (Be
sure that Microsoft Windows is not running.)
Your network administrator might have set up your computer differently.
Contact your administrator to find out exactly how you are to start and stop
LAN Manager and NetWare. If you need to start and stop LAN Manager and
NetWare yourself, use the following commands.
NOTE: Do not use nwload or nwunload while the Microsoft Windows operating system is
running. If you use the Windows operating system, you must start NetWare before
starting the Windows operating system and stop the Windows operating system
before stopping NetWare.
To start LAN Manager
• Type net start workstation.
To stop LAN Manager
• Type net stop workstation.
To start NetWare
• Type nwload [ username ], where username is your NetWare username.
The following example shows how you can specify your NetWare username
with the nwload command:
nwload terryn
This username will be used to log you on to a NetWare server. If you don’t
specify your username when you type nwload, you will be prompted for it.
To stop NetWare
• Type nwunload.
