Pausing and Continuing Connections to Resources

In addition to pausing a service, you can pause your workstation's

connections to shared directories and printer queues.

When you pause connections, your workstation no longer recognizes the

devicenames assigned to the connections. If you assigned a local

devicename to a network connection (for example, LPT1), pausing the

connection lets you use the devicename for a local resource.

You use the drdr option with the net pause and net continue commands to

pause and continue connections to shared directories. You use the prdr

option to pause and continue connections to shared printer queues.

To pause and continue connections to shared directories or printer queues

• Pause connections to shared directories or printer queues by typing:

net pause {drdr | prdr}

• Continue connections to shared directories or printer queues by typing:

net continue {drdr | prdr}

For more information about using these options, see “Net Pause” and “Net

Continue” in Chapter 5, “Enhanced Reference.”
