NET.CFG Options Reference
NetWare DOS Requester Option
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.
NOTE: When the value for this parameter is set to 0, the AUTO.VLM program makes no
retry attempts.
AVERAGE NAME LENGTH=number
Allows the NetWare DOS Requester to set aside space for a table of
NetWare server names based on the values set for the AVERAGE NAME
LENGTH and CONNECTIONS parameters.
For shorter NetWare server names, you can save some memory by setting
the average length to a lower number.
Example To make the AUTO.VLM program wait for one minute
before retrying a connection, you would place the
following lines in your NET.CFG file:
netware dos requester
auto retry=60
Syntax
average name length= number
Replacenumber with the sum of the average character
length of your network server names, divided by the
number set in the CONNECTIONS parameter plus 1.
Default 48
Range 2 to 48
