9 Windows Configuration

Overview

This chapter details a complete Windows configuration setup including:

1.Identifying the NIC on the network using TCP/IP as the underlying protocol

2.Configuring the NIC with its mandatory TCP/IP settings (IP address and subnet mask)

3.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 NTsetup, pure TCP/IP is used as the network protocol whereas with Windows 95or Windows 98, NetBIOS over TCP/IP is used.

Figure 15 shows two of the most common Windows setups you will see with the NIC. The ideal configuration is a network printer defined on the NT server to be shared by Windows 95 clients. However, any Windows station can also go directly to the NIC.
