This entry indicates the following:

• You are not running any NETX applications

• You print to a local printer only

• The servers are running NetWare 4 only (no bindery or Personal NetWare

connections)

Best Compromise

The default settings for the NetWare DOS Requester provide the best

compromise between performance and memory usage.

You should use the default settings until you can determine the optimal

conﬁguration for your particular network and client workstations.

Following is a sample working NET.CFG ﬁle for a client workstation.

Wherever feasible, default settings are used. Otherwise, example variable

replacements are used (for example, the preferred server name):

link driver ne2000

port 300

int 3

frame ethernet_802.2
