- TITLE : Altering the USERNAME for LANMAN 2.0
-
-
-
-
- Under the LanMan series of networking products (including PC LAN,
- 3+Open, and Microsoft's LanMan 2.0) a computer workstation is
- identified by a computername and a username. Each workstation
- can have the same username, however it must have a unique
- computername. Paradox 3.5 automatically picks up this unique
- computername as the Paradox username, which can be confirmed by
- selecting {Tools}/{Net}/{Username} from the main menu.
-
- In order have Paradox use the LanMan username instead of the
- computername, you will create a DOS environment variable to store
- the username and then create a DOS batch file to start Paradox.
-
- Place the following line in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file:
-
- SET USERNAME=NAME (where NAME is the username you wish
- to use)
-
- Reboot your computer to activate the DOS environment variable.
- Confirm your work by typing SET at any DOS prompt. This will
- display your current DOS environment, which should now include
- USERNAME=NAME.
-
- Create a DOS batch file from which you will start Paradox.
- Here is one way to create the batch file:
-
- 1. At the DOS prompt type in COPY CON P35.BAT
- 2. Press <Enter>
- 3. type in PARADOX -USER %USERNAME%
- 4. Press <Enter>
- 5. Press <F6> and <Enter>
-
- To now have Paradox use this username, start Paradox with the
- P35.bat file. Make sure the P35.BAT file is in your DOS path.
- At the DOS prompt type in P35.BAT and Press <Enter>.
-
- Verify your results by selecting {Tools}/{Net}/{Username} from
- the Paradox Main Menu.
