CHAPTER 4 NETBIOS PEER-TO-PEER PRINTING
4-3
Changing the workgroup/domain name
using TELNET or BRCONFIG or a web
browser
If you are unable to use a BRAdmin utility or a web browser, you can use TELNET
or the BRCONFIG Remote console program (BRCONFIG requires the IPX/SPX
protocol to be installed on your PC).
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/NT 4.0 network applet.
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 print server configuration screen, enter you
workgroup/domain name into the "Domain Name" text box. Make sure you submit
the changes.
