You must start the Workstation service before you can log
on to the network, start any other LAN Manager service, or use the
LAN Manager screen. When you start the Workstation service, LAN
Manager Enhanced automatically starts the Messenger and Netpopup
services. Or you can start one of these services individually--if
you stopped it temporarily--by specifying its name from the command
line.
When you start a service, you can adjust certain aspects of
its configuration. For example, you can specify a computername when
starting the Workstation service, or you can specify a log file
for storing messages when starting the Messenger service. These
adjustments are made by including an option on the command line.
Specifying an option on the command line temporarily overrides the
default setting for the service. When the service stops and restarts,
the default setting is restored.
Always consult your administrator before including an option
when starting a service. The options available with each service
are listed on its "Net Start" reference page in
Chapter 5, "Enhanced Reference."
To start a service
Type net start service [options].
For more information about starting services, see "Net
Start Messenger," "Net Start Netpopup,"
and "Net Start Workstation" in Chapter 5, "Enhanced
Reference."
