What You’ll Need to Set up the HP MediaSmart Server
• One or more computers with Windows Vista, Windows XP, or Windows Media Center Edition (32 bit systems
only). See the online User's Guide for a complete list of supported operating systems.
• A broadband internet connection, such as DSL or cable.
• An external Internet broadband router with 100 Mbps (or faster) Ethernet connection to the server. The router
should be setup for DHCP, which automatically provides IP addresses as devices are plugged in.
• Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, which you can download from www.microsoft.com/downloads.
• iTunes 7.1 or later, which you can download from www.apple.com/itunes/download (recommended for
combining household music libraries and streaming music with iTunes)
