CHAPTER 4 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING

4-3

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/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, enter you
workgroup/domain name into the "Domain Name" text box. Make sure you
submit the changes.


NetBIOS Port Monitor for Windows
95/98/Me, NT4.0/2000/XP

This software requires the TCP/IP transport protocols to be installed on your
Windows 95/98/Me, NT4.0/2000/XP computer. To install those protocols refer
to your Windows documentation.
If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, the proper IP address should be defined on
both the Brother print server and your client PC.
