Home network troubleshooting
Basic network setup problems
Cannot connect to network
•
Check the modem and splitter connections.
•
Make sure the splitter is connected to the modem or
telephone jack correctly (
-
page 57).
•
Confirm your modem’s operation with this manual.
•
Make sure your network address and e-mail account are
set up correctly (
-
Chapter 7).
No network connection
•
The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables(
-
Installation Guide
).
•
Make sure the modem’s power cord is plugged in.
•
Make sure your network address and e-mail account are
set up correctly (
-
Chapter 7).
Automatic setup fails
•
The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.
Connect all cables(
-
Installation Guide
).
•
The DHCP service is not enabled on the router, or no
router is present. Refer to your router’s documentation
for instructions on enabling DHCP. If you do not have a
router, you must manually set up the network address
(
-
page 58).
•
Internet service is not available. Check your cable/DSL

The TV IP address must be different from the PC’s IP
address.
•
The TV IP address is not on the same subnet as the
networked PC’s. For example, if the PC has IP
192.168.0.100 with netmask 255.255.255.0, and the TV
has IP 192.168.0.200 with netmask 255.255.255.0, then
they are both on same subnet. Conversely, if the PC has
IP 192.168.1.100 with netmask 255.255.255.0, and the
TV has IP 192.168.0.200 with netmask 255.255.255.0,
then they are on DIFFERENT sub-nets.
Unstable network connection
•
Unplug the Ethernet cables, and then connect them again.
Home server setup problems
The PC (“Home Server”) name is not displayed
•
The Ethernet cables are not connected properly or at all.

•
The network setup on the PC is incorrect. Make sure both
the PC and TV are using the same network type (DHCP/
manual) and have compatible network settings.
•

configure your networked PC to be the master browser of

consult an IT professional.
