How to Print in a Windows
®
 
95/98/Me Peer to Peer network 
 
Overview 
 
Microsofts Windows® 95/98/Me operating systems features built-in networking 
capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows® PC to be configured as a client 
workstation in a file server based network environment. 
 
For smaller networks, Windows
® 95/98/Me also allows the PC to operate in a 
peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share resources with other PCs on 
the network without the need for a central file server.  
 
Quick Tips: 
 
1.  The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To 
change it, use the FAX/MFC’s front panel , the BRAdmin application, or 
let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer. 
2. Refer to chapter 1 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP 
address on your FAX/MFC. 
3.  The default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is access. 
4. Windows
® 95/98/Me users can send print jobs using the IPP protocol via 
a Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP computer providing that the 
Microsoft Internet Print Services software is installed on the client PC, 
IIS is installed and running on the Windows
® 2000 or Windows® XP and 
that the client PC is using version 4 or later of Microsoft Internet 
Explorer. 
5.  Brother printers are also compatible with HP JetDirect software, this 
means that you can use HP utilities to manage and to print to your 
Brother printer.  
						

							CHAPTER 6 TCP/IP PEER TO PEER PRINTING

TCP/IP Printing 
 
Our Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on 
your Windows
® peer-to-peer computers and an IP Address has to be defined for 
the Print / Fax server. Refer to your Windows® documentation for more 
information on how to configure the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows® PC. 
 
If you haven’t already done so, configure the IP address of the FAX/MFC, for 
more information on IP address configuration, refer to chapter 1of this user guide.

Printer name or IP address field. If you have edited the hosts file on 
your computer or are using Domain Name System, you can also enter 
the name of the Print / Fax server. As the Print / Fax server supports 
TCP/IP and NetBIOS names, you can also enter the NetBIOS name of 
the Print / Fax server. The NetBIOS name can be seen in your print 
configuration sheet. From default the NetBIOS name will usually appear 
as BRN_xxxxxx where xxxxxx is the last six digits of the Ethernet 
address.  
 
Window 95/98/Me store the hosts file in the default Windows
® directory. 
By default, the Windows® hosts file is called hosts.sam. If you wish to use the 
hosts file you must rename the file to hosts with no extension, the .sam extension 
stands for sample.

Overview 
 
Brothers Print / Fax server range supports SMB (Server Message Block) over the 
TCP/IP protocol via the NetBIOS interface. This means that just like regular 
Windows
® PC’s, Brother printers can appear in your network neighborhood. The 
main advantage of NetBIOS printing is that you are able to print from legacy 
DOS applications that are running on PC’s that are connected to Microsoft 
networks. 
 
Quick Tips: 
 
1.  The default IP address of Brother Print / Fax servers is 192.0.0.192. To 
change it, use the FAX/MFC’s front panel , the BRAdmin application, or 
let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer 
2.  Refer to chapter 1 of this user guide to learn how to configure the IP 
address on your printer.  
3.  The default login names are “user” for users and “admin” for 
administrators and the default password for Brother Print / Fax servers is 
access. 
4.  The default domain name of the Print / Fax server is WORKGROUP, to 
change it use your web browser or the BRAdmin application.
