For Windows 2000/XP, if the window does not appear automatically, click Start, click Run, and type D:\autorun.exe where "D" in "D:\autorun.exe" is the letter assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard. For Windows Vista, if the installation menu does not appear automatically, click Start, click the Start Search box, and type D:\autorun.exe where "D" in "D:\autorun.exe" is the letter assigned to your CD-ROM Drive, and then press the ENTER key on your keyboard.

Q2. The setup wizard does not detect the Print Server and/or printer/storage device. What should I do?

A2. First, double check your hardware connections; make sure that the Print Server and printer are powered ON and are properly connected. Make sure the RJ-45 network cable is securely connected to the Print Server and Switch/Router. Second, disable any software firewall programs such as ZoneAlarm or Norton Internet Security. If your computer is running Windows XP or Vista, disable the built-in firewall. Third, click Refresh. Fourth, power cycle the Print Server. Unplug the power to the Print Server, wait 15 seconds, then plug the Print Server back in.

Q4. I am unable to print to my Print Server. What should I do?

A4. First, make sure you follow the exact steps for installing the Print Server in section 2 Second, make sure to right click on the print server in the utility and click connect. If another user is using the print server, you must wait until the user is finished using it.

If you do not respond within a minute, you will be automatically disconnected from the print server. You must connect to the print server again.

Q7. Is there a way to force a computer to give up ownership to the print server?
