To activate the Lan (Ethernet), you have to install the BRAdmin Professional Utility. I hope you've installed the drivers and other utilities. If so continue with the below instructions, otherwise, install the printer drivers before you proceed the steps below:
Connect the printer to the computer and plug in the Ethernet cable, now pop in the CD (driver cd) on the Cd/Dvd drive, wait for few seconds, you'll see the autoplay menu on the screen with several options, now click "Install Optional Applications", on the next page you'll see more options, click "BRAdmin Professional" and install it, simply follow the onscreen instructions, after it's completed, run the utility and setup the Network referring to the instructions here (click here), this tutorial includes pictures and graphics illustrated properly. I can't type down all the instructions here as we have word limits. But I hope that you'll be able to follow the instructions in the tutorial. You can read the instructions via your internet browser or you can download it.
If you have problem, if you need further help, let me know.
Good luck.
Thanks for using FixYa.
Well, this is another case, I assumed that it was installation issue as you did mention only about "Activation". If there's no light, then it's not working, might be it's already or some components' been damaged... To test the lan and to make sure about it's faulty.. you can use a Lan Tester lik this (Click here - Lan Tester). [to test the connection and the lan card, power on the printer, plug in the ethernet cable and plug in the other end to the lan tester (Mains, i.e bigger unit) and power on the Lan Tester, the leds will blink accordingly if there's no problem with the lan card.]

Hello, I think that probally the printer has a problem of hardware on the ethernet-output, infact the led on the ethernet, the yellow and green led, don't blink.
I use another MFC-8860DN at work, in that printer the port ethernet work regularly, the led blinks regularly, and i have no problem to configure the printer.
I want know how test the port ethernet, and eventually substitute the card or the ic on motherboard.
Someone have the manual service for this Printer??
Escuse me for my scholastic-enghlish.....
Thanks
