Conguring SMB
1648-019
Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as les and
printers, among multiple devices on a network. You need to use it to congure the
machine as a shared printer on an SMB network. Depending on your network, you may
have to set the NetBIOS name and workgroup name.
NetBIOS Name
In a Windows network that uses NetBIOS, NetBIOS names are used for identifying network-connected
computers as well as for le sharing and other network services. Most computers use the computer name as
the NetBIOS name.
Workgroup Name
Workgroup name is a name for grouping multiple computers so that basic network functions, such as le
sharing, become available in a Windows network. Specify the workgroup name to identify the group that the
machine belongs to.
