When you do an initial installation of NetWare 4.2/5.x/6.0 and have more
than two network adapters installed, the installation program allows you to
allocate the actual number of packet receive buffers needed by the
adapter.
During installation, the RxBuffers value should be set to 32—the minimum
number of buffers the driver requires for each adapter. Although this
setting affects the network adapter performance, it allows installation of
the operating system and up to eight network adapters.
After installation is completed, you need to increase the number of buffers
allocated to the driver as described in V e r i f y i n g o r M o d i f y i n g

To increase the number of buffers
1.
After installing the NetWare 5.x/6.0, set the minimum packet receive
buffers parameter in the s t a r t u p . n c f
s t a r t u p . n c f s t a r t u p . n c f s t a r t u p . n c f s t a r t u p . n c f file to 1 5 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 5 0 0 1 5 0 0 per network
adapter. Set the maximum packet receive buffers to three times the
minimum packet receive buffers. Typically, 4 MB of RAM is required
per 1000 receive buffers. Refer to the V e r i f y i n g o r M o d i f y i n g

parameter (RxBuffers=32) in the adapter load statement. Deleting the
receive buffers parameter from the load statement reverts the receive
buffers parameter to the default value (200).
You must restart the server for the changes to take effect.
