Brother HL-L2350DW how to repair the network connection with the Network Connection Repair Tool
When a Windows computer cannot print to the machine because the machine has the wrong IP address or Subnet Mask.
Steps
- Log on to Windows 7, 8 or 10 with Administrator rights.
- Check that the machine is on and on the same network as the computer.
- Open Brother Utilities and select the model name in the drop-down list.
- Click Tools in the left navigation bar, then click Network Connection Repair Tool.
- If the User Account Control screen appears, click Yes.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
- Print the Network Configuration Report or the Printer Settings page to check the result.
The tool starts on its own when Enable Connection Repair Tool is selected in the Status Monitor. Brother does not recommend that option when the network administrator set a static IP address, because the tool changes the IP address.
