Windows NT Server (TCP/IP)
Windows NT Host Configuration
This section covers configuration of a Windows NT host. The LevelOne
should be configured first. For Windows NT configuration in a Peer-to-Peer environment,
see Chapter 10 - Windows Peer-to-Peer.
Host File Entry (Optional)
If you wish to refer to the newly-installed LevelOne Printer Server by its name, rather than
by its IP Address, you must add an entry for it to the hosts file
\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
The entry consists of the following line:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Name
Where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP Address you assigned to the LevelOne Printer
Server and Name is the LevelOne Printer Server’s name. This should match the name
stored in the LevelOne Printer Server itself. If you have not changed the name, use the
Default Server Name shown on a sticker on the base of the device.
You can check that this has worked using the ping command, as follows:
ping Name
Where Name is the value used in the host file.
You should receive a response. If you get a Timeout message, there is a problem. If you
repeat the command using the IP Address instead of Name, and get a response, then the
problem is the entry in the host file.
