4 Windows
Configuration
Overview
This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup
including:
• Identifying the NIC on the network using TCP/IP as the
underlying protocol
• Configuring the NIC with its mandatory TCP/IP settings
(IP address and subnet mask)
• 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 95/98
®
or Windows
Me
®
, NetBIOS is used over TCP/IP.
The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT/2000
server to be shared by Windows 95/98/Me clients. However, any
Windows station can also go directly to the NIC.
