NET.CFG Options Reference

NetWare DOS Requester Option

Use this option of the NET.CFG ﬁle to conﬁgure the NetWare Client

software for various types of networking support and connectivity.

The NetWare DOS Requester software provides networking support for

DOS and Microsoft (MS) Windows client workstations.

The NetWare DOS Requester is built on an architecture of Virtual Loadable

Module (VLM) software. The VLM.EXE (VLM manager) ﬁle is responsible

for loading the required modules.

Previous versions of the NetWare DOS and MS Windows client software

relied on the single shell ﬁle NETX.EXE to provide networking support.

NOTE: The NetWare DOS Requester is not compatible with the NETX.COM or NETX.EXE

file. Use the NETX.VLM file for compatibility with shell calls.

The following topics are covered in this section.
