Setting Up The Network Address; Automatically Setting Up The Network Address - Toshiba 42LZ196 Operating Manual

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 62).
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 technology,
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:
