NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 3

Changing the Workgroup/Domain Name Using 
TELNET or BRCONFIG or a Web Browser

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin application, you can use 
TELNET, a web browser or the BRCONFIG Remote console 
program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX protocol to be installed 
on your PC).

When you are connected to the print server, enter the default 
password 

access

 in response to the 

#

 prompt. Type in anything in 

response to the 

Enter Username>

 prompt, you will then be at the 

Local>

 prompt.

Now enter the command:

SET NETBIOS DOMAIN domainname
EXIT

Where 

domainname

 is the name of the domain or workgroup that 

you are on. If you are not sure what your domain name or workgroup 
name is, look in the Identification tab in your Windows

®

 95/98/Me 

and Windows NT

®

4.0 network applet.

You can also use a standard WWW browser to change the NetBIOS 
name. To do this, connect to the print server using its IP address and 
then select the Configure NetBIOS option from the Network 
Configuration
 screen, then enter your workgroup/domain name into 
the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes 
(click on the Submit button).

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print 
server may take several minutes to appear in the network 
neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may 
take several minutes to disappear from the network 
neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a 
feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.
