SUMMARY
Here is how to reduce the time it takes to log onto a network:

With an MS-DOS LAN Manager Workstation

 * Have a domain controller running NETLOGON to validate the logon. This avoids the (default) 45-second timeout.

With an OS/2 LAN Manager Workstation
There are two options:


 * Have a domain controller running NETLOGON to validate the logon. This avoids the (default) 15-second timeout.
 * Change the wrkheuristics 33 bit in the LANMAN.INI file as described in Appendix B of the Microsoft Operating System/2 LAN Manager &quot;Administrator's Reference.&quot; This causes the OS/2 workstation to log onto the network STANDALONE after the timeout value specified has been exceeded (if you haven't used option 1).
