Running Other Network Protocols

The computer resources you need may be on more than one network, each of

which uses its own communications protocol. Demand Protocol

Architecture (DPA) allows you to load a protocol when you need to connect

your workstation to a resource on the network that uses that protocol, and

then unload it when you are done, thereby freeing your workstation’s

memory for other tasks. Your network administrator can tell you whether

you will need to use DPA and the names of the protocols being used.

To load a protocol

• Type load protocol.

To unload the last-loaded protocol and break the connection

• Type unload protocol.

To view a list of loaded protocols

• Type load /i.

You may be using a permanently loaded protocol that cannot be dynamically

loaded or unloaded. Permanently loaded protocols will not appear in

response to the load /i command.

If you want one or more protocols to always load when you start your

workstation, include the load command in your AUTOEXEC.BAT ﬁle (after

the net start workstation line).
