This article was previously published under Q90228



SUMMARY
If you dedicate a machine in a work group as a file or resource server, there are two MS-DOS settings you should change:


 * The Files= statement should be increased to 255 on a primary file server. If the machine is used less, 128 may be a good value. Some adjustment may be necessary.
 * The FCBS= statement should be added with a value of 28.



MORE INFORMATION
Some problems may occur if the Files= statement is too low. You may receive error messages stating that a particular file is not available.

If you are not using VSHARE.386 then you should significantly increase the number of handles and the buffer size of SHARE.EXE.
