Peer to Peer Printing

How to Print in a Windows

®

 95/98/Me 

Peer to Peer network

Overview

Microsoft's Windows

®

 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in 

networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows

®

 PC to 

be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network 
environment.

For smaller networks, Windows

®

 95/98/Me also allows the PC to 

operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share 
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a 
central file server. 

Quick Tips:

1

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol 
automatically assigns an IP address from the range: 
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the 
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control 
panel. For more information, see 

APIPA

 on page 10-9. If the 

APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother 
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control 
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin 
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the 
machine.

To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see 

chapter 11

 of this User’s Guide.
