Troubleshooting
I want to check my network devices are working properly.
Question
Is your Brother machine,
access point/router or
network hub turned on?
Where can I find Brother
machine's network settings,
such as IP address?
How can I check the link
status of Brother machine?
Can you "ping" Brother
machine from your
computer?
Is the Brother machine
connecting to the wireless
network?
I have checked and tried all
of above, however, I'm still
having problems. Is there
anything else I can do?
