Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 Peer-toPeer Print (NetBIOS) Troubleshooting If you are having trouble printing on a Windows® 95/98/Me, Windows NT®4.0 or later Peer-to-Peer network (NetBIOS), check the following: 1 Make sure that the Brother NetBIOS Port driver is securely installed and configured according to the Windows® 95/98/Me or Windows NT®4.0 Peer-to-Peer (NetBIOS) chapters. You may find that during the installation of the port driver, the screen that prompts you for a Port name is not displayed. This happens on some Windows® 95/98/Me and Windows NT®4.0 computers. Press the ALT and TAB keys to make it appear. 2 Make sure that the print server is configured to be in the same workgroup or domain as the rest of your computers. It may take several minutes for the print server to appear in the network neighborhood. Brother Internet Print (TCP/IP) Troubleshooting 1 The first step in troubleshooting is to make sure that you have a valid E-mail connection on both the sending PC and the receiving print server. Try sending an E-mail message from the PC to a user at the remote site who can receive mail via the POP3 server. If this does not work, there may be an E-mail configuration problem on the PC, on the local E-mail server, or on the remote POP3 server. Double check to make sure that the E-mail parameters that you configured on the PC and on the remote print server match those that are configured on the E-mail servers. 2 If you can print small files OK but are having problems printing large files, the problem may be in the e-mail system! Some Email systems have difficulties printing large files. If the file does not reach its destination intact, then the problem is with the Email system. 3 You can also enable the partial e-mail print facility on your client PC, this will split the e-mail up into fragments which should then not overwhelm your e-mail server. To do this, select the property dialog of the Brother Internet Print Port. 10 - 14 TROUBLESHOOTING
