CHAPTER 4

WINDOWS 95/98 PEER-TO-PEER
CONFIGURATION

Microsoft's Windows 95/98 operating system features built-in networking
capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows 95/98 PC to be configured
as a client workstation in a NetWare, Windows NT, PATHWORKS, LAN
Server, and Banyan VINES environment.

For smaller networks, Windows 95/98 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.

There are two methods of working in Windows 95/98 peer to peer printing
mode. One method uses the Brother LPR Port driver. Brother print servers
are also compatible with HP’s JetAdmin compatible method.

LPR method

This software requires the TCP/IP protocol to be installed on your
Windows 95/98 peer-to-peer computers and an IP Address had to be
defined for the print server. To install the TCP/IP protocol refer to your
Windows 95/98 documentation.
