LANtastic File Server Locking Up - Check Serv |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: The computer functioning as the LANtastic file server would lock up when the customer ran WP. Solutions: The server parameters where not set correctly. Specifically, on a LANtastic server, the following parameters can be set: Maximum Number of Files Open, Size of the Server Seek Cache, Total Number of Network Tasks, and Number of Cached Resources. The default values set by the LANtastic installation are fine for a two-node network running smaller applications. If more than two users are to be added to the LAN and applications such as WordPerfect 5.1 or Windows are running, these parameters must be adjusted to accommodate the added load and provide the necessary system resources. The applications being run by the user sitting at the file server have a lower priority than those being run by other users from the server. In this specific situation, all of the parameters had to be increased. Unfortunately, there is no way of suggesting a value for any of these parameters. In many cases, it is only by trial and error that the proper configuration and optimization can be achieved. These conclusions where reached after consulting with the LANtastic technical contact at ArtiSoft. These parameters are adjusted at the server by running NET_MGR.EXE under the Server Parameters menu option. IMPORTANT: Care should be taken when suggesting changes that the user write down ANY AND ALL settings before changing them. It will be necessary to restart the server after making any changes. |
