section to the

and use the Up Arrow button for the
opposite effect. Use the double-headed arrow to swap entries between
the two sections.

This prevents the Management Console from automatically checking the
status of the mirror repository when you select the Mirrors tab.
5. Click the

IMPORTANT:
If you want to update Windows NT machines from a
mirror repository on a NetWare 3

member of a user group named NGATEWAY. This user group should be
created in the same container as the client user ID.
