Windows Network (NetBIOS TCP/IP)

TCP/IP is used for Windows (i.e. Windows NT, Windows 95, and Windows for Workgroups) printing unless another protocol like IPX is available. Therefore, mandatory TCP/IP settings (i.e. IP address and subnet mask) are necessary on the NIC. Go to "TCP/IP Network" on this form to fill in these settings if you have not done so already.
