DOS-NET Quick INI Reference Guide
DOS-NET Configuration SettingsThe network initialisation file (DOSNET.INI) contain information that defines your network environment. The network utilities use the information stored in this file to configure themselves to meet your needs and preferences. The DOSNET.INI file contains several sections, each of which consists of a group of related settings. The sections and settings listed in the DOSNET.INI file are in the following format: [SectionName] keyname=value In this example, [SectionName] is the name of a section. The enclosing brackets [ ] are required, and the left bracket must be in the leftmost column on the screen. The keyname=value statement defines the value of each setting. A keyname is the name of a setting. It can consist of any combination of letters and digits in upper-case or lower-case, and it must be followed immediately by an equal sign (=). The value of the setting can be an integer, a hexadecimal value, or a string, depending on the setting. Please Note: This following is not a complete listing of the settings in the DOSNET.INI file. Changing SettingsWhen the network set-up program creates the DOSNET.INI file, it assigns default values to many of the keynames. Other settings have values that correspond to the type of hardware you are using.Some keynames listed in this document do not normally appear in your DOSNET.INI file. Most of these keynames have a built-in default value that is present whether or not the setting appears in DOSNET.INI. You might need to change one or more of these values to improve the performance of the network. To change the values of the keynames described in this document, open the DOSNET.INI file and edit it by using a text editor, such as EDLIN or EDIT (DOS 5.0+). Do not use a formatting editor, such as a word processor in document mode; it can corrupt your DOSNET.INI file. For more information on how to use EDLIN or EDIT, see the DOS User's Guide. Any changes you make to DOSNET.INI settings do not take effect until you restart the network. For a complete description of all the settings and the effects refer to the DOS-NET User's Manual. Always back up your DOSNET.INI file before you change any of its settings. That way, you can restore the original file if you make incorrect changes.
