Chapter 8: Using the THINC™ home network feature B. Setting up the network address To set up the network address: 1 First, try automatically setting up the network address (below). 2 If the automatic setup is not successful, you can either retry the automatic setup (below) or try manually setting up the network address (- page 89). Note: • If you used an Ethernet crossover cable to connect your PC directly to the TV, you will not be able to use the automatic setup, and must manually set up the network address. • If you used a hub or switch to connect the TV to your home network, you will not be able to use the automatic setup, and must manually set up the network address. • If you used a router with built-in DHCP functionality, use the automatic setup. Manual setup may not work. Router technology, like all new and emerging technologles, may from time to time cause compatibility issues because of the differences in router systems implemented by the various router manufacturers; however, most issues can be easily resolved. If you think your Toshiba TV and router might have compatibility problems, please contact the following: • In the U.S., call TACP Consumer Solutions at 1-800-575- 5469 or visit http://www.tacp.com/customersupport/ contact.asp. • In Canada, call TCL Customer Service at 1-800-268-3404 or visit http://www.toshiba.ca.
