Important:
Set the IP Address
using ARP/Ping in
Windows 95/98/NT/
2000/XP
Section 2: Hardware Installation and IP address assignment
• The ability to set the IP address with ARP/PING will only be enabled
the first 4 minutes after restarting the print server.
• The ARP method operates on single network segments only, i.e. they
cannot be used over routers.
Start out with making sure that the IP address is available for use.
The IP address 192.168.3.191 is used here as an example:
• Ping the IP address by opening a Command Prompt and writing:
ping 192.168.3.191
If the host returns Reply from 192.168.3.191 ...
or a similar message, the IP address is already taken.
You can obtain a new and unused IP address from your system
administrator.
• Check that the IP address you want to use is not already taken
and stored in the host's cache memory. Open a Command Prompt
and write:
arp -a
If the host lists the IP Address followed by the Physical Address,
then the IP address is in use.
You can remove the entry from the cache memory with the
command:
arp -d 192.168.3.191
Follow the instructions below to set the IP address using arp/ping
in Windows
1. Open a Command Prompt and write:
arp -s <IP address> <Ethernet address>
ping -t<IP address>
