5 Microsoft Peer to Peer Print Services (NetBEUI)

Windows 95, Windows 98 and Windows NT systems provide Microsoft Peer to Peer services which allow these systems to share resources within a limited network domain. These native services utilize the system’s NetBIOS in conjunction with NetBEUI protocol.

Native Peer to Peer services can also utilize the system’s NetBIOS in conjunction with IPX protocol. Refer to the section at the end of this chapter for configuring peer to peer services using IPX and JetAdmin tools.The Kodak Professional 10/100 Network Interface Card (NIC) supports these peer to peer services by supporting communications via NetBEUI

By default the NIC’s NetBEUI domain name is workgroup. This parameter must match the domain name defined for your Windows peer to peer network in order for the printer to appear as a resource in that domain. The NIC’s domain name can be changed to reflect your domain name with NIC configuration utilities.

KOD_xxxxxx_p1 is the default NIC (printer) name advertised for peer to peer services. xxxxxx corresponds to the last six digits of the NIC’s Ethernet address.

NetBEUI is a non-routable protocol. This means that peer to peer service resources such as printers will ONLY be accessible to users on the same subnet (and domain) that the printer is on.
