5 Microsoft Peer to Peer Print Services (NetBEUI)
Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT systems provide Microsoft
Peer to Peer services which allow these systems to share resources
within a limited network domain. These native services utilize the system’s
NetBIOS in conjunction with NetBEUI protocol.
Native Peer to Peer services can also utilize the system’s NetBIOS in
conjunction with IPX protocol. Refer to the section at the end of this
chapter for configuring peer to peer services using IPX and JetAdmin
tools.The Kodak Professional 10/100 Network Interface Card (NIC)
supports these peer to peer services by supporting communications via
NetBEUI
By default the NIC’s NetBEUI domain name is workgroup. This parameter
must match the domain name defined for your Windows peer to peer
network in order for the printer to appear as a resource in that domain.
The NIC’s domain name can be changed to reflect your domain name
with NIC configuration utilities.
KOD_xxxxxx_p1 is the default NIC (printer) name advertised for peer to
peer services. xxxxxx corresponds to the last six digits of the NIC’s
Ethernet address.
NetBEUI is a non-routable protocol. This means that peer to peer service
resources such as printers will ONLY be accessible to users on the same
subnet (and domain) that the printer is on.
Workstation Networking Software for Peer to Peer
Services
The following system software components must be installed on each
Windows system that must support peer to peer resource sharing. Use
the Network Control Panel to view or install these components.
• Client: Client for Microsoft Networks
• Service: File and Printer Sharing for MicroSoft Networks
• Protocol: NetBEUI
Note: Refer to the documentation and software provided with your printer
for specific installation details you may need to know for that
printer, especially if you encounter problems.
