Problem No. 4 I am using DHCP, and getting an IP Address conflict involving the LevelOne Printer Server.

Solution No. 4 If the LevelOne Printer Server is left on, but the DHCP server is turned off, then the LevelOne Printer Server will retain its IP Address without the DHCP Server being aware of it. Simply reset the LevelOne Printer Server so it will obtain a new IP Address.

This problem would also arise if you assigned a static IP Address which is within the range used by the DHCP server.

If so, use another address which is NOT within the range used by the DHCP server.

Problem No. 5 I am using WPConfig on Windows 95, and having problems configuring the LevelOne Printer Server.

Solution No. 5 WPConfig is designed for Windows 3.1 only. For Windows 95/NT, you should use BiAdmin.
