Greatly expanded optimizing and troubleshooting discussions
Step-by-step examples for performing the most common tasks

NOTE: In Novell documentation, an asterisk denotes a trademarked name belonging to a third-party company. Novell trademarks are denoted with specific trademark symbols, such as TM.

NOTE: To set up or maintain a network in the NetWare Enhanced Security configuration (the Class C2 evaluated configuration), you must supplement the information in this manual with the information in NetWare Enhanced Security Server, NetWare Enhanced Security Administration, Auditing the Network, and Security Features User Guide.

Command Syntax Conventions

This section explains the command syntax used in NetWare documentation. The following example illustrates several command line syntax conventions.

MAP [P | NP] [options ...] drive:= [drive: | path]

After typing the command, press Enter to execute the command.

Convention	Explanation
Boldface characters	Boldface characters indicate items that you type at the prompt, such as commands.
Italicized characters	Italicized characters indicate variables that you replace with information pertinent to your task.
... (ellipses)	Ellipses indicate that parameters, options, or settings can be repeated.
[ ]	An item enclosed in square brackets is optional. You can enter the command with or without the item.
[[ ]]	Items enclosed by nested square brackets are optional, but if you use the items within the innermost brackets, you must also use the items within the outer brackets.
\|	When items are separated by a delimiter bar, you can use either item, but not both.
{ }	Curly braces indicate that you must choose one of the enclosed options.

NET.CFG FileSection Headings and Parameter Settings

NET.CFG section headings and parameter settings are shown in uppercase when used as a reference item and lower case when used in syntax or working examples.

For example:

NETBIOS VERIFY TIMEOUT specifies how often in (ticks) NetBIOS sends a keep-alive packet to the other side of a session to preserve the session.

If no packets are being exchanged on the NetBIOS session by the software that established the session, NetBIOS sends packets at regular intervals to make sure that the session is still valid.

Syntax	`netbios verify timeout` number Replace number with a number of ticks.
Default	54 (approximately 3 seconds)
Range	4 to 65,535
Example	To make NetBIOS wait longer before sending a request-for-acknowledgment packet, you could place the following lines in your NET.CFG file: netbiosnetbios verify timeout 1350

Because interpretation of this file is not case-sensitive, you can type its contents in uppercase or lowercase letters.
