Getting Started with LAN Manager Enhanced
Stopping LAN Manager Services
Stopping LAN Manager Services
When you stop the Workstation service, all network services stop, and
connections to the network end. You must restart the Workstation service
and log on if you want to use the network again.
Alternatively, you can pause your workstation, which is similar to stopping
your workstation but doesn’t log you out or cancel connections. Pausing puts
your workstation on hold but keeps your username and password active. It
also pauses the Messenger and Netpopup services. For more information
about pausing services, see “Pausing LAN Manager Services,” later in this
chapter.
NOTE: Do not load terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs after the Workstation
service has been loaded. LAN Manager Enhanced is a TSR program, which means
that it stays in your workstation's memory even after you stop the program. If other
TSR programs are loaded into your workstation’s memory after the Workstation
service is started, the net stop command may not work. If this occurs, remove the
other TSR programs and try again.
To stop the workstation service
• Type net stop workstation.
For more information about stopping LAN Manager services, see “Net Stop
Workstation” in Chapter 5, “Enhanced Reference.”
