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, see Chapter 3 "Network factory default setting" 
on page 3-11 of the User's Guide. If the APIPA protocol is 
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is 
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if 
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software 
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 10 of this user guide to learn how to configure 
the IP address on your printer.
