Stopping LAN Manager Services

When you stop the Workstation service, all network services stop, and connections to the network end. You must restart the Workstation service and log on if you want to use the network again.

Alternatively, you can pause your workstation, which is similar to stopping your workstation but doesn't log you out or cancel connections. Pausing puts your workstation on hold but keeps your username and password active. It also pauses the Messenger and Netpopup services. For more information about pausing services, see "Pausing LAN Manager Services," later in this chapter.

	NOTE: Do not load terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) programs after the Workstation service has been loaded. LAN Manager Enhanced is a TSR program, which means that it stays in your workstation's memory even after you stop the program. If other TSR programs are loaded into your workstation's memory after the Workstation service is started, the net stop command may not work. If this occurs, remove the other TSR programs and try again.
