4. DHCP/AutoIP Issues

It is possible that the ZonePlayer or PC has failed to obtain a valid IP address for your network. This can be caused if the DHCP server on your router is unable to lease an IP address to the ZonePlayer, forcing the ZonePlayer to use Auto IP. You can use the Controller to determine the IP address of your ZonePlayers by pressing the Music button, and then selecting System Settings>About Your Digital Music System.

Check the IP address of your computer and make sure the first two numbers of the ZonePlayer and the PC's IP addresses are the same. For example the PC might have an IP address of 192.168.0.100 and the ZonePlayer an IP address of 192.168.0.101. The first two numbers of the IP address match so they are on the same network and both have received their IP address from a DHCP server. If the PC had an IP address of 192.168.0.100 and the ZonePlayer had an IP address of 169.254.11.23 then you’d know there is a problem because the first two numbers don't match. If this is the case then you need to reset your router and the ZonePlayer and try again.
