Setting the TCP/IP Network Configuration
You need to set the TCP/IP network configuration of each IP/TV Server so that it
can communicate on the network with other IP/TV components.
Note Multicast must be enabled on your routers in order to use the scheduled programs
feature of IP/TV on more than one subnet. On-demand programs do not require
multicast.
To set your networking configuration, follow these steps on each IP/TV Server:
Step 1 Choose Start > Settings > Network and Dial-Up Connections > Local Area
Connection.
Step 2 Click the Properties button in the Local Area Connection Status window.
Note Each server has TCP/IP installed. However, each is configured to use a
static IP address that is reserved for testing purposes. You must
reconfigure your server to use static IP addresses appropriate for your site
and subnet.
Step 3 Choose Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click the Properties button.
Step 4 Click the Use the following IP address radio button and then enter the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway.
Step 5 Do one of the following:
• If you are using the Domain Name System (DNS), enter the appropriate
information for the preferred and alternate DNS servers and click OK.
• If you are not using DNS, populate the C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
file with the IP address and name of the server. See Appendix B, “Sample
Hosts File,” for a sample Hosts file.
