Troubleshooting

Remote control does not work or works erratically

The most likely cause of this is a weak battery. Replace the battery.

Cannot establish a wireless connection

Incorrectly 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 problems

If the HP DreamSereen is connected to your home network, but it still cannot stream content from your computer, try the following solutions:

1 Finding the IP addresses of the HP DreamScreen and the computer

Follow the instructions below to find the IP address of your HP DreamScreen:

a Make sure the HP DreamScreen is connected to the network and can access the

Internet.

b Use the navigation controls to select Setup, and press OK. The Settings menu

opens.

c Press

d Find the IP address of the computer that you are using as a media server. From a

42 HP DreamScreen User Guide

 or  to select Network, and then press OK. The Network Summary

screen opens. You can see the IP information of your HP DreamScreen.

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.

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.

2 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.

3 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.

4 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:

a Click Start, and select Network. b Click the Network and Sharing Center tab. c If your network is Public, click Customize. d In the Customize screen, change your network to Private.

5 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:

a Click Start, Connect to, and then click Show all connections. b 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:

1 Go to main menu of your HP DreamScreen. 2 Select Setup and press OK. 3 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:

1 Click Start on the taskbar, and then select Run. 2 On the Run window, type cmd, and then press the Enter key. A new command window

should appear.

3 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:

1 Open your browser on your computer. 2 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.

3 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:

 Whether the SSID is broadcast or not  Whether wireless is enabled or disabled  Type of wireless security  Number of bits used in the keys

Starting or Stopping Media Sharing with Windows Media Player 11

To check your media sharing configuration using Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11):

1 Click Start, and then click Windows Media Player 11. 2 On the top menu, click Library, and then select Media Sharing.

Note: If no icon appears in the Media Sharing dialog, do the following:

a Close the dialog. b Turn off your HP DreamScreen and then turn it back on. c Go back to step 2 and continue.

3 Select the icon for your HP DreamScreen, click Allow, and then click Apply to enable

media sharing with your HP DreamScreen. Click OK when you are done.

Note: To stop media sharing, follow this procedure but click Deny in the Media

Sharing dialog.

4 Shut down your PC and your HP DreamScreen. 5 Turn on your HP DreamScreen. Then turn on your PC.
