port. Instead, press the Start button, select Settings, and open the Printers
windows. Click on the icon of the printer that you wish to configure, select
File from the Menu bar, and then choose Properties.

dialog, select the Other radio button and then highlight "Brother NetBIOS
port". Click OK and enter the port name. The default port name is BNT1. If
you have already used this name, you will get an error message if you try to
use it again, in which case use BNT2, etc… Once you have specified the
Port name, click the OK button. You will then see the Port Properties
Dialog. Enter the print server and port name of the printer that you wish to
print to and click OK. You should now see the port that you have just
created in the "Print to the following port" setting of the printer driver.
