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.
