hp digital media receiver
Once the media receiver restarts you will be returned
to the main home screen. If there are no error
messages, your network settings are properly
configured.
wired with static address
If a DHCP server is not available, you must assign the
media receiver a static address that is valid for your
network. The address must be very similar to the
address used by your PC, and it cannot be in use by
another network PC or device.
It is best to determine the addresses of all your PCs
before assigning one to your media receiver. Use the
method described in “network address: static or
dynamic?” on page 36 to find the static addresses in
use, and then pick an available address.
For example, you have three PCs on your network:
• PC1: 192.168.0.2
• PC2: 192.168.0.17
• PC3: 192.168.0.11
All with a netmask of 255.255.255.0. For the media
receiver, pick an unused address like 192.168.0.20
and use the same netmask of 255.255.255.0. Write
the addresses down for future reference.
To configure the receiver for the static address:
