Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup
including:
Identifying the Ethernet Interface on the network using TCP/IP
as the underlying protocol
Configuring the Ethernet Interface with its mandatory TCP/IP
settings
(IP address and subnet mask)
Configuring a new printer on the Windows station
Windows Environment Description
The Ethernet Interface supports network printing under Windows
environments by using TCP/IP. In a Windows NT
setup, pure
TCP/IP is used as the network protocol whereas with Windows
95/98
or Windows Me , NetBIOS is used over TCP/IP.
The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT/2000
server to be shared by Windows 95/98/Me clients. However, any
Windows station can also go directly to the Ethernet Interface.
