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 the APIPA protocol is
disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web BRAdmin software
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
2
Refer to chapter 10 of this User's Guide to learn how to
configure the IP address on your printer.
3
The default password for Brother print servers is access.
