Chapter 8: Using the THINC
™
home network feature
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 89).
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 technologles,
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
