Troubleshooting

v1.0, April 2006

For security reasons it is better to open the ports only for your private and auto IP 
addresses. For more information, see the Microsoft website at

 

http://www.microsoft.com. 

Physical Connectivity

Ethernet Link

The digital entertainer uses Auto Uplink technology (also called Auto MDI/MDI-
X). It automatically senses the polarity of the Ethernet connection. You can use 
either a standard or crossover Ethernet cable. The Ethernet port of your digital 
entertainer will automatically configure itself properly.

If connecting to your network using Ethernet, the link LED on the back of your 
digital entertainer and on your hub or router should both be on. If not, try the 
following:

Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at 
the hub or workstation.

Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.

Wireless Link

Please be aware that wireless data rate and throughput decreases as the distance 
increases between the Access Point (AP) and the digital entertainer. If you are 
unable to detect any wireless networks, try the following:

Your wireless AP (access point) may be too far from the digital entertainer. It 
may be necessary to move either the AP or the digital entertainer so that they 
are closer together.

If you are using a wireless connection between the AP (or wireless router) and 
the computer that serves the media content, you might also need to move the 
computer and the AP closer together.

If your access point is configured to disable broadcast of SSID, the digital 
entertainer will not be able to detect it. You must manually configure your 
wireless settings as described in 

“WiFi Setup” on page 3-5

.

The digital entertainer cannot connect to the wireless network while it is 
connected to the Ethernet network. Disconnect your Ethernet cable.
