SUMMARY
To unload the real mode redirector, log off from workgroup services, and disconnect from the currently connected servers, type the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:

net stop /y

The /Y switch allows you to perform the above functions without having to provide any input.



MORE INFORMATION
To connect to available network servers from MS-DOS and load the workgroup software for MS-DOS (real mode redirector), type ONE of the following at the MS-DOS command prompt:


 * net start workstation
 * net start basic
 * net start full

VSERVER.386 is the server VxD. A computer can still be a server after executing the NET START WORKSTATION command in 386 enhanced mode, but it cannot be a browse master. Browse service requires the virtual redirector (VREDIR.386) to load the browse service (VBROWSE.386).

Typing net stop unloads the real-mode redirector and the following prompts appear:   You are currently logged on as    Do you want to log off? (Y/N)[N]: If you have existing connections and you respond &quot;Y,&quot; the following message appears:   Continuing will cancel these connections: &quot;device=\\server\share&quot;

Do you want to continue this operation? (Y/N)[N]: If you respond &quot;Y,&quot; the following displays:   was logged off successfully. Command completed successfully. If you type net stop /y, the above two prompts default to a response of &quot;Y&quot; and you are not required to respond.
