  1. Start your web browser.
  2. Type "http://machine's IP address" in your browser's address bar (where "machine's IP address" is the machine's IP address).
    For example:
    http://192.168.1.2
    • If you are using a Domain Name System or enable a NetBIOS name, you can type another name, such as "SharedPrinter" instead of the IP address.
      - For example:
        http://SharedPrinter
      If you enable a NetBIOS name, you can also use the node name.
      - For example:
        http://brn[your machine's MAC Address / Ethernet Address]
      The NetBIOS name can be found in the Network Configuration Report.
