Hewlett-Packard Network Port Option May Not Be Available

• Microsoft Windows NT Workstation versions 3.5 and 3.51
• Microsoft Windows NT Server versions 3.5 and 3.51

SUMMARY

After you install the DLC protocol in Control Panel Networks, the Hewlett- Packard Network Port option may not appear as one of the Available Print Monitors. If you remove and re-install the DLC protocol and the Hewlett- Packard Network Port option is still not available, a network adapter setting may be incorrect.

MORE INFORMATION

You can change the network adapter settings through the registry, provided only one network adapter is installed on the print device.

WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious, system-wide problems that may require you to reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own risk.

3. Select Adapter.

4. From the Edit menu, select DWORD.
