9 Windows Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup including:
1. Identifying the NIC on the network using TCP/IP as the underlying
protocol
2. Configuring the NIC with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (IP address and
subnet mask)
3. Configuring a new printer on the Windows station
Windows Environment Description
The NIC 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
or Windows 98 , NetBIOS over TCP/IP
is used.
Figure 15 shows two of the most common Windows setups you will see with
the NIC. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT server
to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any Windows station can also
go directly to the NIC.
