Detailed Configuration
Appendix
The startup screen is not displayed,
and the computer is not recognized by
LinkTheater
Cause (1):
The LAN cable is not connected
Solution (1):
Check that the LAN cable is connected to
both the computer and LinkTheater (push in
the LAN cable until you hear a “click”). After
connecting the LAN, switch the LinkTheater
power off and on again.
Cause (2):
The wrong cable is being used (when
connecting directly to a computer)
Solution (2):
You need to use a crossover cable when
connecting LinkTheater directly to a
computer. Connect with a crossover cable.
After connecting the cable to the LinkTheater
and to your LAN, switch the LinkTheater's
power off and then on again.
Cause (3):
The software that came with LinkTheater has
not been installed
Solution (3):
Insert the CD provided into the computer’s
CD drive, and click [Install PC-P1LAN Utility]
from easy setup.
Cause (4):
The BootServer is not running on your PC
Solution (4):
Check that the BootServer icon is
displayed in the task tray. If the icon is not
displayed, click [Start]-[(All) Programs]-
[BUFFALO]-[PC-P1LAN]-[PC-P1LAN
BootServer].
Cause (5):
There is a problem with the router or access
point
Solution (5):
If you have tried all of the above solutions
but LinkTheater is still not recognized on
the environment connected to your router or
access point, refer to [Read Me First] and
connect LinkTheater directly to the computer.
Cause (6):
The IP address is wrong
Solution (6):
Refer to “For customers that do not have
a router” (page 12) and check that the
computer IP address and LinkTheater
IP address have the first three groups of
numbers the same, and the last group of
numbers different. For example, if the
LinkTheater IP address is [192.168.11.51],
check that the computer's IP address is
[192.168.11.61] or something similar. Subnet
masks should be the same for both.
Cause (7):
Software that contains a firewall is installed
Solution (7):
If a firewall is enabled, the computer may
not be recognised from LinkTheater. In this
case, you can disable the firewall function
or accept use of UDP ports [59821] [59823]
and TCP ports [8888] [9666] [9667] [58080]
[58001] [59824], or uninstall the software that
has firewall settings. Contact the software
maker for information about firewall settings.
The following is an example of how to
disable a firewall.
[When Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2003 is
installed]
Use the following procedure to disable the
[Personal firewall function].
1. Select [Start] - [(All) Programs] - [Trend
Micro PC-Cillin-2003] - [PC-Cillin-2003
operations].
2. When the [PC-Cillin-2003 operation screen]
starts, click on the [Professional] tab.
3. Click the [Emergency lock] button
displayed on the right side, check that
[Emergency lock is OFF] is displayed, and
click [OK].
4. Check that there is an x mark in the
[Wireless LAN mode] button. If there is no x
mark, click the [Wireless LAN mode] button
to switch the wireless LAN mode OFF.
When these settings are completed, close
the [PC-Cillin 2003 operation window].
