you choose, it must be unique and it MUST begin with BLP.

You must now enter the actual IP address of the print server and the print server name. If you have edited 
the hosts file on your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter the DNS name 
of the print server. As the print server supports TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the 
NetBIOS name of the print server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in the Network Configuration List. 
The NetBIOS name assigned is the first 15 characters of the node name and by default it will appear as 

BRN_xxxxxx

 where 

xxxxxx

 is the last six digits of the Ethernet address.

The node name and the NetBIOS name is printed on the Network Configuration List. To learn how to 
print the Network Configuration List, see Printing the Network Configuration List on page 3-16.

can print, re-start your Personal Firewall software.
