Installing the Lenovo NetBIOS Port Monitor
The Lenovo NetBIOS Port Monitor requires the TCP/IP transport protocols to be installed on your Windows
®
95/98/Me/2000/XP and Windows NT
®
4.0 computer. To install those protocols, see your Windows
®
documentation. If you are using the TCP/IP protocol, the proper IP address should be defined on both the
Lenovo print server and your client PC.
Note
If you already installed the driver from the printers CD-ROM Installer and you selected “Lenovo Peer-to-Peer

You must now enter the server name and port name for the actual print server. You can use the
Browse

the print server does not automatically appear in your browse list, then you must ensure that the domain
name is configured correctly. Otherwise you must enter the name manually. The name should be

BRN_xxxxxx
, where
xxxxxx
is the last six digits of the Ethernet address), and
ServiceName
is the
service name for NetBIOS of the print server. By default it is BINARY_P1. For example:
\\BRN_310107\BINARY_P1
