Running a Dedicated Server
Network performance can be improved by running servers as dedicated. A dedicated server is one that does not run simultaneously as a client. Also, the less the server is used as a workstation the better it will perform as a server. Performance may be further enhanced by running the auxilary utility DEDICATE.COM found in the C:\NWLITE directory. If DEDICATE.COM isn't in the NWLITE directory, it can be copied from the original (or backup) product installation disk. Load DEDICATE after loading SERVER. This can be accomplished by entering "DEDICATE" at the DOS command prompt if C:\NWLITE is in your PATH, or "C:\NWLITE\DEDICATE" if it is not. Adding this command to the STARTNET.BAT file will load DEDICATE everytime you bring up the server.
