How to Print in a Windows
Peer to Peer network

Overview

Microsoft's Windows
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows
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 Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using the machine control
panel. For more information, see APIPA on page 10-9. If the
APIPA protocol is disabled, the default IP address of a Brother
Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192. To change it, use the control
panel, the BRAdmin Professional utility, Web BRAdmin
software or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the
machine.
2
To learn how to configure the IP address on your machine, see
chapter 11 of this User's Guide.
