LAN Manager for OS/2
Under OS/2, the [networks] section of LANMAN.INI specifies the
protocol or monolithic network device drivers LAN Manager can use,
and the order of these lines determines the LANA number of the
protocol/adapter pair specifed in the netx line. It does not refer to
media-access control drivers.
Each [networks] entry has the following form:
netn = drivername,m,[options]
where
n
Is a unique number used to identify the driver in later LANMAN.INI
entries. The range is 1–12.
drivername
Is the name of the protocol or monolithic driver. (See the “Transport
Drivers” section in Chapter 9.)
m
Is the LANA number. If the driver is set up to handle multiple
network adapters, m specifies which adapter to access. It is passed to
the proper protocol stack in network control blocks (NCBs) by the
redirector. In the LANMAN.INI file, m is 0 for the first driver, 1 for
the next, and so on.
options
Can be added for protocol or monolithic drivers provided by a third
party. The NetBIOS extended user interface (NetBEUI) and loopback
drivers do not have options. For more information, see the protocol
or monolithic driver manual(s).
To manually install network device drivers on an OS/2 system either
using protocol or monolithic network device drivers, edit the
LANMAN.INI file as follows:
In the [networks] section, add one netn line for each driver, where n is a
different integer for each driver. The order of entries in the [networks]
section, not the value of n, determines the order in which LAN Manager
searches networks for resources.
For each driver name specified in LANMAN.INI, there must be a
corresponding device line in CONFIG.SYS to start that driver.
