purchase a different modem or add a router to your

network.

Note: You can create a network of PCs without access

to the internet. The internet is simply a common reason

to network PCs together.

If you have multiple PCs and can share files between

them, or all of the PCs can access the internet through

a cable or DSL modem, then you do have a network.

However, you will need to determine how your server

PC (the PC running the hp media software) is assigned

a network address.

hubs, routers and switches

When PCs are networked together, each PC is

attached to a central “box” with 4, 8, 16 or more

connections. This box is either a hub, a router, or a

switch. They all operate in a similar way, with one

important difference: a router will assign a network

address dynamically, while a hub or switch will not.

network address: static or dynamic?

A PC (or any network device) is either assigned a

network address manually (a static address), or

another device on the network (a DHCP server or

router) assigns the address dynamically.

To determine your address settings under Windows XP:

1. Click on start

2. Click All Programs, then Accessories, then

Command Prompt

3. At the prompt, type ipconfig /all

4. Look for the line Dhcp Enabled (you may have

to scroll back to see it)

To determine your address under Windows Me:

1. Click on start

2. Click Run...

3. At the prompt, type winipcfg and click Ok

4. Click the Details... button

5. Look for the line DHCP Server (if it has an

address, DHCP is enabled)

If DHCP is enabled, you have a DHCP server on your

network. See “wired with dynamic address” on

page 37.
