Managing Win32 Clients
This parameter is optional. The valid range is
5–65535. If it is not specified, the default is 200
(seconds).
client_start_timeout
The Registry data type of this value is REG_DWORD.
Specify the time in seconds that an application waits
while the Win32 client starts and tries to contact a
server. Values between 0 and 300 are valid; values
outside this range are forced into the range. The
default value is 10 seconds.
This parameter can be used to control events when
both the application and the Win32 client are
configured to be started on system startup (either by
being in the Startup Folder or by being an
automatically started service). The application waits
for the number of seconds specified in this field, to
enable the Win32 client to get in first. In this way, the
Win32 client can connect to a server to provide the
resources required by the application, before the
application fails due to the lack of those resources.

The Servers subkey contains information about SNAplus2 servers that
the client can access, as follows:
Server1
The Registry data type of this value is REG_SZ.
Enter an asterisk (*) or a server name:
• To indicate that the client should attempt to find a
server running SNAplus2 by using a UDP broadcast
message to all computers on its TCP/IP subnet (or
on all subnets that it can access, if the client
computer contains more than one LAN adapter
card), specify *.
The client retries the broadcast every 10 seconds,
up to the number of attempts specified by the
broadcast_attempt_count parameter, until it
contacts a server. If the limit specified by
broadcast_attempt_count is reached before a
