Assigning the IP Address

For a Windows 95 peer-to-peer network you need to set the

card’s IP address. Make sure the Ethernet card and printer are

on the same segment of the network as the computer you are

using to configure the card. Also, find out the IP address for the

computer and the IP address for the Ethernet card. Then,

follow these steps:

1. Find the hardware address (node number) for the Ethernet

card in your printer. Refer to the status sheet to determine

this number (see page 8).

2. Double-click the

MS-DOS Prompt icon to open a DOS

window.

3. Set up the routing table, using the following command:

ping <IP address>

for example: ping 127.0.1.1

4. Add an entry in the ARP table that assigns an IP address to

the hardware address of the Ethernet card. Use the

following command:

arp -s <IP address> <hardware address>

for example:

arp -s 127.0.1.200 00-00-48-92-BD-9A

5. Start a continuous "ping" to the card, using the following

command with the card IP address:

ping <IP address>

for example:

ping 127.0.1.200

You see a message similar to the following:

Reply from 127.0.1.200: bytes=32 time<10ms TTL=30

This shows that the Ethernet card is set up for TCP/IP

correctly.

Note:

If you don’t know what

IP address to use for the

computer or the

Ethernet card, ask your

network administrator.

Or, follow the

instructions on page 19.
