 98/Me users

Overview

Microsoft's Windows

®

 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

®

 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 control panel. For more 
information see page 2-8.  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 machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin 
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an 
IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 2 of this user guide to learn how to configure 
the IP address on your machine.
