DOS Win2000 wiz kids please help
I use the batch file (below) for a DOS based program (FoxPro Dos) to point the lpt1: port to the print server (george)
and to set the screen to full screen and to load and run the DOS program (which is on another machine mapped as x
The network is CAT5, switch a high speed NetGear, 100Mhz network cards and all machines ping each other at less than 1ms. Windows routines (also mapped; no batch file) are fast.
I have both TCP/IP and Netbeui active... (and a fixed IP address (which W2000 seems to like).
The PROBLEM IS:
loading the dos program is slow and printing to george is slow...
The QUESTION IS:
Is there something else I can try to do to speed this up ?
#cmd
rem @ echo off
cls
x:/
net use lpt1: \\george\george-p1 /PERSISTENT:YES
mode con: cols=80 lines=25
rem
x:\foxpro ortho.prg -t
net use lpt1: /delete
c:/
exit
