1.  You do not need to re-run the installation program to add a new 

NetBIOS 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.
