This problem is caused because the installation wizard cannot locate your Brother machine automatically when the network group of your computer and your Brother machine is different. To install the drivers, specify the IP address of your Brother machine during the installation as follows:

The following solution is applicable only for:

• the case of the network group of your computer and your Brother machine being different. If this is not applicable for your network environment, see the Related FAQ's at the end of the page.
• the case of peer-to-peer network connection. If you are using the machine by network sharing, change the connection to peer-to-peer network connection.
• Select Network Connection for the connection type and then click Next.
  
• When the following screen appears click No.
  

Select Specify your machine by address (Advanced Users) and enter the IP address of your Brother machine. Then click Next.

An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to each device on your network. These addresses are required to make communication between network devices possible.

If your Brother machine was purchased Network Ready, then the IP address can be determined via the LCD panel or by printing a Report Page which is called User Settings list or Network Configuration (Network Config) list. For more information to find the IP address on the Control Panel of your Brother machine, please refer to the User's Guide for your machine. The latest User's Guide is available in the Manuals section.

If you cannot find the IP address information, you need to use one of the optional network connection devices such as the NC-2100p or NC-2200w External Print Server or the NC-9100h or the NC-8100h Internal Print Server. Please go to the Print Server product page (go back to the Country Top page and choose Print/Fax Servers) and refer to the Network User's Guide for that device at Manuals section.

If you are still having difficulty finding your printers IP address, please consult a network administrator or contact Brother Customer Service from "Contact US".

My Network Places is a feature of Windows XP and older versions of Microsoft Windows that's used to browse network resources. Network resources in Windows include shared file folders on other computers, networked local printers, and URLs.

Windows XP has been discontinued since April 2014. Update to Windows 10 to ensure that you receive the most up-to-date security and feature updates. We retain this historical content for people who cannot upgrade Windows.

Where to Find My Network Places

My Network Places in Windows XP can be accessed from the Windows Start menu (or through My Computer). Launching My Network Places opens a new window on the screen. Through this window, you can add, search for, and remotely access these network resources.

My Network Places replaced the Network Neighborhood utility found in Windows 98 and older Windows operating systems. My Network Places also offers additional functionality not available through Network Neighborhood.

Search for Network Resources

Through My Network Places, Windows searches for shared network files, printers, and other resources present on your local network. For example, use My Network Places to confirm that each computer set up on a home network can see the other computers.

To browse the list of available network resources, choose the Entire Network option in the left pane of My Network Places. Then, in the right pane, several options may appear for the kinds of networks available to browse. Choose the Microsoft Windows Network option to browse resources available locally.

Each local computer found in My Network Places is listed under its Windows workgroup name. In home networks, all computers should be set to use the same Windows workgroup, otherwise, they will not be accessible through My Network Places.

Add a Network Place

The Add a network place option can be found on the left side of the My Network Places control window. Selecting this option starts a Windows wizard that guides you through the steps to define a network resource. Here you can specify the location of the resource by entering a URL or a remote computer or folder name in the Windows ​UNC format.

The Add a Network Place wizard allows you to give descriptive names to the resources you add. When the wizard completes its setup, an icon similar to a Windows shortcut icon appears in the resource list.

Along with the resources you manually add to My Network Places, Windows sometimes automatically adds other resources to the list. These are places on the local network you frequently access.

Remove Network Places

Removing a network resource from the My Network Places list works as in Windows Explorer. The icon representing any network resource can be deleted as if it were a local shortcut. During a delete operation, no action is taken on the resource.

View Network Connections

The My Network Places task pane contains an option to view network connections. Choosing this option launches the Windows Network Connections window. This is technically a separate feature from My Network Places.

Summary

My Network Places is a standard feature of Windows XP and Windows 2000. My Network Places finds network resources. It also supports creating descriptively named shortcuts for network resources.

My Network Places can be a useful troubleshooting tool in situations where two local networked devices cannot communicate with each other. Resources that don't appear in the Microsoft Windows Network may be networked improperly. Resources will not appear in My Network Places for any of the following reasons:
