How to Override Values
The Control services command, from the Config menu on the
LAN Manager Screen, and the net start command-line command have
options that correspond to entries in the LANMAN.INI file. When
starting a service, you can override values in the LANMAN.INI file by
changing the corresponding option values of the Control services
command or the net start command.
Values specified with the Control services or net start commands are in
effect only as long as the service is running. When the service is stopped
and started again, it will use either the default values or values specified
in LANMAN.INI, if any. In the case of optional values that are not
specified in the LANMAN.INI file, the autotuned values will apply.
Chapter 2, “LAN Manager Commands,” describes the net start
command.
How to Change Values
Use a text editor or the Setup program to change values in the
LANMAN.INI file. For changes to the [networks] section, restart the
computer to make the changes take effect. When changes affect only a
particular service, stop and restart the affected service.
Adding Optional Entries
Optional entries can be added to the [workstation] section of the
LANMAN.INI file to create specific configurations for the Workstation
services
Use a text editor to add optional entries permanently to this section of
the LANMAN.INI file. Write each entry on a separate line and include a
value within the range allowed for the entry.
To temporarily add values to the [workstation] sections of the
LANMAN.INI file, you can include optional entries as command options
when starting the Workstation service. Use the LAN Manager Screen’s
Control services command or the net start command to change values
temporarily.
Under most circumstances, avoid adding optional entries to the
LANMAN.INI file. The values LAN Manager determines for these
entries are designed for best performance.
