Changing the workgroup/domain name using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a web
browser

If you are unable to use a BRAdmin32 utility or a web browser, you can use TELNET 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/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 print server configuration screen, enter you workgroup/domain name into the “Domain
Name” text box. Make sure you submit the changes.
