  • Page 105 (This troubleshooting guide will also apply to a multiple-segmented network while installing the print server) For example, assuming the print server is on Segment A, NT server is on Segment B, and there is a gateway computer between Segment A and Segment B. The network might be a complete TCP/IP network, or a hybrid of TCP/IP and IPX/SPX network.
  • Page 106 Troubleshooting For the purpose of explanation, we assume the NT server is on Segment A and its IP address is 192.72.214.66 (subnet mask: 255.255.255.224), the print server is going to be installed on Segment B, with IP address, for example, 192.72.214.100.
