NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
NOTE: Some routers and bridges have been hardcoded to use 576-byte packets. In this case,
the NetWare DOS Requester can use only 576-byte packets, regardless of this
parameter.
LIP START SIZE=number
Specifies the packet size of used by the NetWare DOS Requester when
starting LIP negotiations.
Use this parameter to reduce the amount of traffic caused by the negotiation
process across slow links.
For this parameter to work, also set LARGE INTERNET PACKETS=ON.
LOAD CONN TABLE LOW=[on | off]
Specifies whether the connection table is loaded in high or conventional
memory.
When using the initial release of NetWare 4.0 network operating system
utilities, you must set the value of the LOAD CONN TABLE LOW
parameter to “on.”
This loads the connection table low, which increases conventional memory
requirements required by the initial release of NetWare 4.0 utilities.
If you are not using the initial release of the NetWare 4.0 utilities, the default
value (off) gives you better memory performance. The default setting loads
the connection table in an Upper Memory Block (UMB), if available.
