IP Address

Address used to identify a node on a network supporting the TCP/IP protocol. The format for IP (Internet Protocol) addresses is a set of four bytes or segments, separated by periods. Each byte can have any value from zero (0) to 254. If you need to enter an address, make sure it conforms to the addressing scheme for your network and that it does not conflict with the IP address for any other node on your network. The print server’s default IP address is 192.0.0.192.

To view your computer’s IP address, subnet mask, and other information, do the following:

Windows XP/2000/NT:

1.From the Windows Start menu, click Run.

2.Enter cmd in the text box and click OK. You see a DOS window.

3.At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. You see your computer’s IP configuration file, which includes the IP address.

4.At the prompt, type exit to exit the DOS window.

Windows Me/98:

1.From the Windows Start menu, click Run.

2.Enter winipcfg in the text box and click OK. You see the IP Configuration window.

3.Select your wireless adapter from the pull-down list. You see IP configuration information, including the IP address.

4.Click OK to close the IP Configuration window.

WorkGroup/Domain

Used on networks that support NetBIOS or NetBEUI. WP-Admin detects this setting automatically, so you should not have to change it. The print server must be on the same workgroup or domain as all computers using the printer.

Subnet Mask

Make sure this matches the subnet mask for your network. This setting will be 255.255.255.0 for most networks in the home or small office.
