3. Select Add.
4. Select Service.
5. Select File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks from the
list.
6. Click OK.
7. Click OK again since this service will now show in the list to the left.
Configuring TCP/IP
Since TCP/IP is used as the data transfer protocol, IP addresses and
netmasks must be assigned to your Windows workstation(s) if you have
not already done so.
If you are not familiar with IP addresses and are sure that this network
will not go onto the Internet, Table 14 lists some sample settings to use.
Table 14. IP Address Examples
IP Address Netmask
Host 1 192.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
M205/M206 192.1.1.2 255.255.255.0
Host 2 192.1.1.3 255.255.255.0
and so on ...
