For Windows
®
98/Me users
Overview
Microsoft's Windows
®
98/Me operating systems feature built-in
networking capabilities. These capabilities allow a Windows
®
PC to
be configured as a client workstation in a file server based network
environment.
For smaller networks, Windows
®
98/Me also allows the PC to
operate in a peer-to-peer mode. In this mode, the PC can share
resources with other PCs on the network without the need for a
central file server.
Quick Tips:
1
The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) protocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the range:
169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255. If you want to disable the
APIPA protocol, set APIPA to Off using control panel. For more
information see page 2-8. If the APIPA protocol is disabled, the
default IP address of a Brother Print/Fax server is 192.0.0.192.
To change it, use the machine’s control panel, the BRAdmin
Professional utility software or let your DHCP server allocate an
IP address to the printer.

Refer to chapter 2 of this user guide to learn how to configure
