42 HP DreamScreen User GuideTroubleshootingRemote control does not work or works erraticallyThe most likely cause of this is a weak battery. Replace the battery.Cannot establish a wireless connectionIncorrectly setting the following parameters can cause this problem: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.Password - The password for WEP and WPA security types is a key that is generated by a passphrase that is entered when the router is configured. The key is what you need to enter in the password field.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 problemsIf the HP DreamSereen is connected to your home network, but it still cannot stream content from your computer, try the following solutions:1Finding the IP addresses of the HP DreamScreen and the computer Follow the instructions below to find the IP address of your HP DreamScreen:aMake sure the HP DreamScreen is connected to the network and can access the Internet.bUse the navigation controls to select Setup, and press OK. The Settings menu opens.cPress  or  to select Network, and then press OK. The Network Summary screen opens. You can see the IP information of your HP DreamScreen.dFind 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 43eFrom 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.2Ensure 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.3Ensure 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.
