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 DreamScreen is connected to your home network, but it still cannot stream content
from your computer, try the following solutions:
1Find the IP addresses of the HP DreamScreen and the computer.
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.
HP DreamScreen User Guide39
dFrom a command line, enter ipconfig -all to find the IP address of the
computer that you are using as a media server.
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.
eFrom your computer, open the command window again and enter 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, 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. For additional
help, see the Microsoft FAQs on firewall settings for WMP11.
4Ensure the computer is using a private network (Windows Vista).
If your computer is not using Windows Vista, skip this step.
If your computer is running Windows Vista, make sure it is using a private and not a
public network. Windows Vista does not allow any media streaming in a public
network. To check your settings, follow these steps at your computer:
aClick Start, and select Network.
bClick the Network and Sharing Center tab.
cIf your network is public, click Customize.
dIn the Customize screen, change your network to Private.
40HP DreamScreen User Guide
5Disable unused LAN connections.
If your PC has or has 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:
aClick Start, Connect to, and then click Show all connections.
bCheck your connections under LAN or High-speed Internet.
If there is 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:
1Go to main menu of your HP DreamScreen.
2Select Setup and press OK.
3Select 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:
1Click Start on the taskbar, and then select Run.
2On the Run window, enter cmd, and then press the Enter key. A new command window
should appear.
3When the new command window appears, enter ipconfig -all, and then press the
Enter key. The network information for your computer is displayed.
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:
1Open your browser on your computer.
2Type 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.
3If 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.
HP DreamScreen User Guide41
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
Keys
Starting or Stopping Media Sharing with Windows Media Player 11
To check your media sharing configuration using Windows Media Player 11 (WMP11):
1Click Start, and then click Windows Media Player 11.
2On the top menu, click Library, and then select Media Sharing.
A Media Sharing dialog box appears. If sharing is configured and allowed for your
HP DreamScreen, an icon with a green circle and a check mark appears. The name of
your HP DreamScreen appears below the icon. A red X appears on the icon if media
sharing is not allowed.
NOTE: If no icon appears in the Media Sharing dialog box, do the following:
aClose the dialog box.
bTurn off your HP DreamScreen and then turn it back on.
cGo back to step 2 and continue.
3Select 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 box.
4Shut down your PC and your HP DreamScreen.
5Turn on your HP DreamScreen. Then turn on your PC.
