How to Print in a Windows ® 95/98/Me Peer to Peer network
Overview
Microsoft's Windows ® 95/98/Me operating systems feature built-in networking capabilities. These
capabilities allow a Windows ® PC to be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows ® 95/98/Me also allows the PC to 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.

The default IP address of Brother print servers is 0.0.0.0 . To change it, use the printer control

of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
TCP/IP Printing
Our Peer to Peer printing software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your Windows ® peer-
to-peer computers and an IP Address has to be defined for the print server. Refer to your Windows ®
documentation for more information on how to configure the TCP/IP protocol on your Windows ® PC.
If you haven't already done so, configure the IP address of the printer, for more information on IP address
