method described in “network address: static or

dynamic?” on page 36 to find the static addresses in

use, and then pick an available address.

Note: If you have other wireless PCs or devices,

determine all of the addresses before assigning one to

your receiver. Do not assign the same address to more

than one device.

For example, you can use 192.168.0.1 for your PC,

and 192.168.0.2 for your media receiver. Use a

netmask of 255.255.255.0 for both.

To configure the media receiver network settings for

wireless ad hoc mode and static addressing:

1. Press options

2. Select Network Setup

3. Set Connection to Wireless (Ad Hoc)

4. Select Address

5. Set Configuration to static

6. Set the IP Address to 192.168.0.2

7. Set the Netmask to 255.255.255.0

8. Press left arrow to return to receiver options

9. Select Apply Changes to apply the network

changes

Follow the instructions that came with your wireless

network card for setting a static IP address of

192.168.0.1 on your PC.

wireless encryption

For security reasons, a wireless network can encrypt

the network packets broadcast between devices. This

type of encryption is called Wired Equivalent Privacy,

or WEP.

There are two levels of WEP encryption: 64 and 128

bit. You may have heard the numbers 40 and 104 bit

used in conjunction with WEP encryption. These are

just two different names for the same encryption

method. Because there has been no official

standardization of these terms, wireless vendors may

use either name.

Whether you choose 64 or 128 bit is up to you. You

must balance higher security versus slower network

performance.
