NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
FORCE FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=[on | off]
Specifies the network drive letter the SYS:LOGIN directory is mapped to
after logging out of a server or network. Setting the value to “on” specifies
that the drive letter must be the same as the one use in FIRST NETWORK
DRIVE.
Previously, if you typed “LOGOUT” from any drive other than a local drive
or the FIRST NETWORK DRIVE, the SYS:LOGIN drive would be mapped
to the drive letter you logged out from.
For this parameter to work, also set FIRST NETWORK DRIVE=drive.
The drive is map rooted to the first network drive and not to the \LOGIN
directory as with the NetWare Shell software such as NETX. You should
modify any batch files effected by this change.
HANDLE NET ERRORS=[on | off]
Determines the default method for handling network errors.
A network error is generated when the client workstation doesn’t receive a
response from the NetWare server. The two values are as follows:
Example To set the first drive to G:, you would place the following
lines in your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
first network drive=g
Syntax force first network drive=[on | off]
Default off
Modules GENERAL.VLM
Example To specify that the first network drive letter be the same
before and after you log out, you would place the
following lines in your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
force first network drive=on
