Getting Started with LAN Manager Enhanced
Starting LAN Manager Services
Starting LAN Manager Services
You must start the Workstation service before you can log on to the network,
start any other LAN Manager service, or use the LAN Manager screen.
When you start the Workstation service, LAN Manager Enhanced
automatically starts the Messenger and Netpopup services. Or you can start
one of these services individually--if you stopped it temporarily--by
specifying its name from the command line.
When you start a service, you can adjust certain aspects of its configuration.
For example, you can specify a computername when starting the
Workstation service, or you can specify a log file for storing messages when
starting the Messenger service. These adjustments are made by including an
option on the command line. Specifying an option on the command line
temporarily overrides the default setting for the service. When the service
stops and restarts, the default setting is restored.
Always consult your administrator before including an option when starting
a service. The options available with each service are listed on its “Net
Start” reference page in Chapter 5, “Enhanced Reference.”
To start a service
1 Type net start service [ options ].
For more information about starting services, see “Net Start Messenger,”
“Net Start Netpopup,” and “Net Start Workstation” in Chapter 5, “Enhanced
Reference.”
