SET STATION TIME=[on | off]
Synchronizes the client workstation date and time with that of the NetWare
server that the client workstation initially attaches to.
Setting this option to “off” disables the synchronization feature.
SHORT MACHINE TYPE=“name”
Specifies which overlay files to use with the specific machine type of your
client workstations.
This parameter is similar to LONG MACHINE TYPE, except that it is used
specifically with overlay files. Use it when the %SMACHINE variable is

Examples of files using this parameter and value include the
IBM$RUN.OVL file for the windowing utilities and the CMPQ$RUN.OVL
file that uses a default black-and-white color palette for NetWare menus.

your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
search mode=2
Syntax set station time=[on | off]
Default on
