Network Configuration

Before you can access or share media files over the network with

CyberLink SoftDMA and a Digital Media Server, you first need to make

sure your network is properly configured and working:

• Verify that your computer has a physical connection to the

network. The back of each network adapter in a desktop

computer has visible lights. These lights indicate a good

connection. If you are using a hub or a switch to connect the

computers, make sure that the hub or the switch is turned on

and that the lights are on for each client connection. This

indicates a good link.

• Make sure that all computers have TCP/IP installed and activated.

TCP/IP is always installed on Windows Vista. Click Start - Settings

- Control Panel. Select Network and Internet Connections and

then select View network status and tasks under Network and

Sharing Center. On the Tasks tab, click on Manage network

connections, right click on the Local Area Connection icon that

connects to your network and select Properties. Click Continue

if the UAC dialog pops up. Make sure Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is

installed and checked off. Click OK to apply your changes.
