Note
®
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 a web browser

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 the Submit button).

Changing the Workgroup/Domain Name using TELNET

If you are unable to use the BRAdmin Professional utility, you can use TELNET.
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 95/98/Me and Windows
®
NT 4.0 network applet.
