NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
Use this parameter for binder connections if your username and password
total more than 32 characters. For this parameter to work, also set BIND
RECONNECT=ON.
AUTO RECONNECT=[on | off]
When this parameter is set to “on,” the AUTO.VLM program reconnects a
client workstation to a NetWare server and rebuilds the workstation’s
environment (excluding file-specific items) prior to connection loss.
When this parameter is set to “off,” the AUTO.VLM program load fails at
pre-initialization time.
To enable the VLM.EXE program to load the AUTO.VLM file, you must
include the VLM=AUTO.VLM parameter and value. You must also load
RSA.VLM if you are re-establishing a NetWare Directory Services (NDS)
connection, by using the VLM=RSA.VLM parameter.
AUTO RETRY=number
Sets the number of seconds the AUTO.VLM program waits before
attempting a retry after receiving a network critical error.
