The best way (if you have a set of diskettes which you downloaded to when
you configured your server), is to down the server, boot  DOS, restart
netgen.  Select the standard floppy method.  Select Netware
Installation.  It will then ask if the Drive List is correct.  Press
ESC.  Then select Miscellaneous Maintence.  Select Load Operating
System.  ANSWER NO.  Select Load System & PUblic Files. ANSWER NO.
Then select System Configuration.  You may then change such things as
the file server name, number of open files, printer setups, volume
names, and number of directory entries. Some are  under other menu
options of course.  When you are through with your changes, ESC back the
the primary menu, and select Continue Installation.  Answer yes.  You
may then exit Netgen.  Reboot your server, and your new settings are in
effect.
