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.
