NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
For this parameter to function properly, use the NETWARE.DRV version
3.03 or later, and include the “network.drv=netware.drv” line under the
[boot] heading in the MS Windows SYSTEM.INI file.
This parameter affects the performance of your MS Windows environment.
CONNECTIONS=number
Sets the maximum number of connections the NetWare DOS Requester
software supports.
The NetWare DOS Requester supports up to 50 connections in its
connection table. A value larger than needed uses memory unnecessarily.
NOTE: Setting the value to other than 8 might decrease NETX compatibility. Do not use this
parameter if you are unsure of the maximum number of connections you are making
to NetWare 3 or earlier servers.
If you lower the number of connections to fewer than 8, ensure that your client
workstation does not exceed the number during operation. If the maximum number
of connections is exceeded, you might experience some problems with all of your
server connections.
DOS NAME=“name”
Sets the name of the operating system used in the shell.
