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.
