DOCUMENT:Q68330 30-JUL-2001 [lanman] TITLE :Decreasing Time to Log Onto Network with DOS/OS2 LM PRODUCT :Microsoft LAN Manager PROD/VER: OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS: ====================================================================== SUMMARY ======= Here is how to reduce the time it takes to log onto a network: With an MS-DOS LAN Manager Workstation -------------------------------------- - Have a domain controller running NETLOGON to validate the logon. This avoids the (default) 45-second timeout. With an OS/2 LAN Manager Workstation ------------------------------------ There are two options: - Have a domain controller running NETLOGON to validate the logon. This avoids the (default) 15-second timeout. - Change the wrkheuristics 33 bit in the LANMAN.INI file as described in Appendix B of the Microsoft Operating System/2 LAN Manager "Administrator's Reference." This causes the OS/2 workstation to log onto the network STANDALONE after the timeout value specified has been exceeded (if you haven't used option 1).
