just like regular Windows® PC's, Brother printers can appear in your
network neighborhood. The main advantage of NetBIOS printing is

running on PC's that are connected to Microsoft networks.
Quick Tips:

The Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) pro tocol
automatically assigns an IP address from the rang e:

disabled, the default IP address of a Brother print server is
192.0.0.192. To change it, use the printer control panel (if
applicable), the BRAdmin Professional, Web B RAdmin software
or let your DHCP server allocate an IP address to the printer.
