Connecting Your Media Player
This chapter describes how to set up the Wireless Digital Media Player MP115 on your local area
network (LAN).
Verifying That Basic Requirements Are Met
• Make sure that you have the following:
— A wireless (802.11b or 802.11g) or Ethernet network
— One or more computers running Windows 98SE, 2000, ME or XP
— Television set
— Broadband Internet service (recommended)
• Have your Network Name (SSID) and security settings handy.
• Firewalls can interfere with or block MP115 performance. If you are running Windows XP
Service Pack 2, then during installation the NETGEAR Wireless Digital Media Player MP115
Resource CD sets the firewall up to be compatible. If you use other firewalls, such as
ZoneAlarm, set the following ports to be open:
— UDP Ports: 1360, 1900
— TCP Ports: 1025 – 1035, 3640, 3641, 4000, 4001, 7000 – 7010, 49200 – 49210
