You can load the network on a work station or a server in two ways:
using STARTNET.BAT file or manually. The problem is that the STARTNET.BAT
file created during installation contains no redirecting commands. That is
why you should add some commands to STARTNET.BAT to adapt the system to your
particular needs.
To modify the STARTNET.BAT file you must know the sequence in which
programs and commands are executed. The sequence (using a server) is the
following:
1. Loading NETBIOS driver.
Example: NE2000 PORT=300h IRQ=5
2. In case you use the second network adapter or serial port, you should
load the NETBIOS driver with adapter number 1:
Example: NE2000 PORT=320h IRQ=3 ADAPTERS=1
3. Loading the server program SERVER.COM.
Example: SERVER LOT
4. To establish logical connection between server and work station,
execute Net.exe:
NET LOGIN \\server_name
5. To redirect printers and drives to another server's resources, use
NET USE command:
NET USE x: \\server_name[\server_resource]
This command redirects a local drive x: to any server resource or to all
server resources.
NET USE prn \\server_name or
NET USE lptn \\server_name
This command redirects your printer to the server network printer.
Attention! Before running "NET USE" the "NET LOGIN" command should be
executed.
6. Register network printer:
NET SHARE LPTx
This command allows to use the server printer as a network printer. This
command should be started on a server.
7. Load LANCACHE program. If server redirects its own drives to resources
of another one, you should load LANCACHE.COM command:
LANCACHE /CASHESIZE=4096
8. To cancel drive or printer redirection during the session if necessary
use NET UNUSE command.
Example: NET UNUSE x:
NET UNUSE prn
NET UNUSE lptx
9. To log out from another server - first, cancel all redirections to that
servers resources and then enter NET LOGOUT command:
NET LOGOUT \\server_name
10. To cancel redirection of the network printer use the command:
NET SHARE CANCEL
