NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
Set this to a higher number if you are trying to see resources physically
located at a long distance from your workstation.
NOTE: Increasing this number decreases the response time of some utilities.
CACHE BUFFER SIZE=number
Sets the buffer size (in bytes) for the cache buffers that the FIO module uses.
Increasing the value of the parameter allows you to cache larger amounts of
data, thereby increasing performance and also memory use.
Syntax
broadcast timeout=number
Default 2
Range 1 to 255
Modules PNW.VLM
Example To enable a workgroup to display in the WGLIST utility
that is unreachable by using the default value, you could
place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
broadcast timeout=60
Syntax
cache buffers size=number
Default Media maximum minus 64 bytes
(For example, Ethernet: 1500 - 64 = 1436)
See the manufacturer’s documentation for the
cache buffer size for your media type.
Range 64 to 4096 bytes
Modules FIO.VLM
Example To cache larger amounts of data than the default allows,
you could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file:
