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. 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). NETBIOS PEER TO PEER PRINTING 4 - 3

in response to the
#

response to the
Enter Username>
prompt, you will then be at the

prompt.
Now enter the command:
SET NETBIOS DOMAIN 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

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

the
