Packet receive buffers represent the space in the server memory dedicated to
handling network traffic. If the buffers are set too low, the server performance
may be degraded.
To reset the packet receive buffers at the server console prompt, include the
following SET command in the STARTUP.NCF file:
SET MINIMUM PACKET RECEIVE BUFFERS = X
The x represents the number of buffers. Set two buffers for each user on the
system. The minimum is 10. The changes will take effect immediately.
If your storage device driver requires memory below 16 MB and the server has
more than 16 MB available to it, you must reserve memory below 16 MB for
the driver.
To change the reserve memory at the server console prompt, include the
following command in the STARTUP.NCF file:
SET RESERVED BUFFERS BELOW 16 MEG=X
Replace the x with a number between 8 and 300. The default is 200.
