Troubleshooting

This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your MP101 Digital Music Player. After

each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and solve the problem.

Hardware Installation

The MP101 is a client that can only play music served from another source such as the NETGEAR

Media Server or from an Internet music service such as RHAPSODY.

After you plug in the MP101, the following sequence of events should occur:

1. When power is first applied, verify that the NETGEAR splash screen is displayed.

2. After showing the firmware version, the network should be detected

• If you are connecting to an Ethernet network, the display should show Connecting to

Wired Network. If not, see “Ethernet Link” on page A-2.

• If you are connecting to a Wireless network, the display should show a message that

indicates that wireless networks were found. Once a network has been chosen, a message

will be displayed indicating that the MP101 is associating with the network. If this does

not happen, see “Wireless Link” on page A-2.

3. An IP address should be displayed. This address will normally come from a DHCP server on

your network. This server is usually part of a router or firewall that is connected to the internet.

By default, NETGEAR routers assign an IP address in the 192.168.0.x range.

If the MP101 is unable to get an IP address using DHCP, it will default to the 169.254.x.x

range. This is called an Auto-IP address. An Auto-IP address will allow to computers to

communicate in the absence of a DHCP server.

If the MP101 receives an Auto-IP address instead of the correct address for your network, see

IP Address on page A-3.
