NetWare DOS Requester Option
MINIMUM TIME TO NET=number
Overrides the time-to-net value defined by the local router during
connection.
This parameter is used for bridged WAN/Satellite links with time-to-net
values set too low for workstations to make a connection under either of the
following conditions:
• The server on the other side of the link is a NetWare 3™ or earlier server not
running the Packet Burst™ protocol
• The transfer rate for the link is 2400 baud or less
NAME CONTEXT=“name_context”
Allows you to set your current position, or context, in the Directory tree
structure.
This parameter and value apply only to client workstations connecting to a
NetWare 4 network.
The default is the root, which might cause confusion if duplicate usernames
exist.
Syntax minimum time to net=number
Replace number with the number of milliseconds
(1000=one second) needed for maintaining a
connection over bridges and routers.
Default 0
Range 1 to 65535

Example To increase the time-to-net value for a 2400-baud link to 10
seconds, you would place the following lines in your
NET.CFG file:
