I have a Lexmark MarkNet Pro 1 10/100 print server (model 4034-104 with one
printer port, one 10/100 RJ-45 10 mbs Ethernet port. I acquired it second
hand from a surplus/used store. It was complete with the proper power
adapter but no setup instructions or software. It appears to function
correctly.
I wish to use it on my home network to put my laser printer on it.
I can't figure out how to do it. I am reasonably experienced in PCs and
hardware/software setup but this has got me stumped. Google searches have
given me minimal information. The IBM site has good information but often
refers to the IBM CD that came with the MarkNet Pro for information and
software to set it up. It does not appear to be available for download
although some software is.

1 PC P3 800 MHz running XP SP2
1 PC Cel 950 MHz running XP SP2
1 PC AMD 2.4 GHz running Win 98 SE
1 LinkSys BEFR81 (? model number) Hub Router 8 port RJ-45
1 Cable modem for high-speed Internet access.
I have browsed the IBM web site gathering information on the MarkNet server,
I can test it, change default settings from the minimal panel buttons, etc.
I know it works. It appears to be in Manual mode from the test printout.
The TCP/IP section on the print out shows:
Active: Yes
DHCP, BOOTP, RARP Enabled: No, No, No
Address Source: Manual
Address: 157.184.185.4
Netmask: 255.255.254.0
Gateway: 10.20.28.5
Hostname, WINs Status: CL43533
WINS Server: 10.33.34.126
Some info on the IBM site seems to indicate that I should set the MarkNet to
DHCP on and have my Linksys Router hub assign an address. I am unable to
configure the MarkNet. I can't figure out yet how or which software to use.
If anyone has experience with these MarkNet print servers and can help me
out, I would appreciate it greatly.
