Changing The Workgroup/Domain Name Using Telnet Or Brconfig Or A Web Browser; And Windows Nt - Brother HL-5170DN Network User's Manual

Because of the way that Microsoft networks work, the print
server may take several minutes to appear in the network
neighborhood. You will also find that the print server may
take several minutes to disappear from the network
neighborhood even if the printer is switched off. This is a
feature of Microsoft workgroup and domain based networks.
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

and Windows NT

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, then enter your workgroup/domain name into
the Domain Name text box. Make sure you submit the changes
(click on the Submit button).
