SSID - This is the network name (also known as the server set identifier, or SSID). Check
for correct spelling. The SSID is case sensitive. If the router is set to broadcast the SSID,
it will be scanned automatically during setup for the wireless network, but it might not be
broadcast for security reasons.

Security - The security type used by the router. The choices are: None, WEP (OPEN),
WEP (SHARED), WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP), and WPA2-PSK
(AES). You need to match the security type during your wireless network setup with the
security type used in your router configuration for wireless connections.

MAC address - This is the Media Access Control (MAC) address, an address that is
unique to every network card. If your router is configured to connect explicitly to wireless
cards on a list, you must add the MAC address of HP DreamScreen to the list on your
router. Once you make a wireless connection, you should be able to view the MAC
addresses of all devices connected to your router. The MAC address of the HP
DreamScreen wireless network card is displayed by default when you select Setup from
the main menu and then, Network Setup. Then click OK.
To adjust your router’s configuration, see the configuration instructions that came with your
router.
Correcting network streaming problems
If the HP DreamSereen is connected to your home network, but it still cannot stream content
from your computer, try the following solutions:
Finding the IP addresses of the HP DreamScreen and the computer
Follow the instructions below to find the IP address of your HP DreamScreen:
Make sure the HP DreamScreen is connected to the network and can access the
Internet.
Use the navigation controls to select Setup, and press OK. The Settings menu
opens.
Press
or
to select Network, and then press OK. The Network Summary
screen opens. You can see the IP information of your HP DreamScreen.
Find the IP address of the computer that you are using as a media server. From a
command line, enter ipconfig -all
Both the computer and HP DreamScreen must have the same Gateway address. If
not, this is probably the problem. Change the gateway address to the same
address for all devices that you want to share on the network.

HP DreamScreen User Guide
e
From your computer, open the cmd window again and type ping 192.168.xx.xx
(the IP address of the HP DreamScreen that was found from the HP DreamScreen
Network Summary screen).
If the HP DreamScreen sends a reply from 192.168.xx.xx then your computer and
your HP DreamScreen are able to send packet information across the network.
Continue using these steps to find and correct the problem.
If the message “Request timed out” appears, there is still a basic networking
problem between your computer and your HP DreamScreen.
Ensure you have enabled Media Sharing
Use the instructions in Starting or stopping media sharing with Windows Media Player
11 to check if you enabled media sharing on your computer. In many cases, even
though you enabled sharing, Windows Media Player 11 asks to re-enable media
sharing.
If media sharing is enabled and the HP DreamScreen is listed among the devices that
WMP11 can stream to, then: stop sharing and then restart sharing. This restart is usually
good enough to make sure the WMP11 server can be seen by the HP DreamScreen.
If you enabled media sharing, make sure the HP DreamScreen is among the devices
allowed to receive content.
Ensure a firewall is not blocking the stream
Windows Media Player 11 ensures that Windows firewall allows media streaming;
however it is not unusual for a computer to have more than one firewall software
installed and enabled. If you cannot stream any content and WMP11 is configured
correctly, temporarily disable all firewalls (except Microsoft® Windows firewall). If that
fixes the problem, configure the firewall settings so that WMP11 is considered a trusted
application and the HP DreamScreen is part of your trusted network. For additional
help, see the Microsoft FAQs on Firewall settings for WMP11.
Ensure the computer is using a private Network (Vista)
If your computer is not using Windows Vista, skip this step.
If your computer is running Microsoft Vista, make sure it is using a private and not a
public network. Vista does not allow any media streaming in a public network. To check
your settings, follow these steps at your computer:
Click Start, and select Network.
Click the Network and Sharing Center tab.
If your network is Public, click Customize.
In the Customize screen, change your network to Private.
Disabling unused LAN connections
If your PC has or ever had more than one LAN card, the media server may have
selected to stream on the port of the network card connection that is not connected to the
HP DreamScreen. To check if there are multiple LAN connections on a computer with
Windows access the Network connections window using the following steps at your
computer:
Click Start, Connect to, and then click Show all connections.
Check your connections under LAN or High-speed Internet.
HP DreamScreen User Guide
43
If there are more than one active Local Area Connection, right-click on a connection
that the HP DreamScreen does not use and select Disable.
The HP DreamScreen should be able to find and stream shared music and photos
through Windows Media Player.
Finding network settings of your HP DreamScreen
To find the network settings of your HP DreamScreen, follow these steps:
Go to main menu of your HP DreamScreen.
Select Setup and press OK.
Select Network and press OK. Your home network information is displayed.
Finding the network settings of your computer
You can find the network settings of a computer by following these simple steps:
Click Start on the taskbar, and then select Run.
On the Run window, type cmd, and then press the Enter key. A new command window
should appear.
When the new command window appears, type ipconfig -all, and then press the
Enter key. The network information for your computer displays.
Finding the network settings of your router or access point
The procedure to find the settings of your router, such as the SSID and wireless keys, varies
and depends on the router brand and model. Most routers (or access points) are accessible
using a computer browser, such as Internet Explorer.
To find the network settings of your router or access point using the browser, follow these
steps:
Open your browser on your computer.
Type the address of your access point, for example http://192.168.1.1
If you do not know the address, follow the directions in Finding the network settings of
your computer.
Note: The address of the Default Gateway is also the address of your router.
If needed, enter the administrator user name and password. If you do not remember it,
you can reset the router to the default settings and read your router's user manual for the
default user name and password settings. If you still need help, call the support line of
your router's manufacturer or visit their web site.
The SSID is usually listed in the home page of your router's settings.
Finding your wireless encryption keys depends on the model of router, but most routers
list keys under Wireless or Wireless Security or similar. From the router Web page you
should be able to find all the wireless security information that you will need including:
