In a Windows NT setup, pure TCP/IP is used as the network protocol whereas with Windows 95, NetBIOS over TCP/IP is used. Figure 4-1 outlines two of the most common Windows setups you will see with the Ethernet Interface. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any Windows station can also go directly to the Ethernet Interface. Figure 4-1.

Windows Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup including:
1.
Identifying the Ethernet Interface on the network using TCP/IP as the
underlying protocol
2.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP
address and subnet mask)
3.
Configuring a new printer on the Windows station
Environment Description
The Ethernet Interface supports network printing under Windows environments
by using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT setup, pure TCP/IP is used as the network
protocol whereas with Windows 95, NetBIOS over TCP/IP is used.
Figure 4–1 outlines two of the most common Windows setups you will see with
the Ethernet Interface. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the
NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any Windows station
can also go directly to the Ethernet Interface.
