PRODUCT : Paradox NUMBER : 687
VERSION : 3.5
OS : DOS
DATE : September 3, 1992 PAGE : 1/2
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.
