When the AVeL Link Player Cannot Connect to a Server (Computer)  
If no server is displayed in the AVeL Link Player menu, or when selecting a displayed server with the ENTER button on the remote  
controller will show the message "Cannot connect to the specified server" or "Log in later," check the items listed below.  
First, check on the computer and AVeL Link Player if the network connection is established properly.  
[Check Procedure]  
[1] With the AVeL Link Player menu displayed, press the SETUP button on the remote controller. In the displayed screen, select  
IP Settings, and then check the IP address set for the AVeL Link Player.  
[2] Check if the computer is connecting to the AVeL Link Player via network.  
Windows  
(1) Start Command Prompt (MS-DOS Prompt) on the computer connected to the AVeL Link Player via LAN.  
- Windows XP/2000  
Click Start, point to All Programs (Programs), point to Accessories, and then click Command Prompt  
(MS-DOS Prompt).  
- Windows 98 SE  
Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt.  
(2) You will see the cursor blinking after C:\xxxx> (xxxx varies depending on the environment). Enter the IP address  
according to the example below.  
Example: When the IP address of the AVeL Link Player is 192.168.0.5  
Enter C:\xxxx>PING 192.168.0.5, and then press the Enter key.  
(3) Check the network status from the displayed message.  
- Messages displayed when network connection is not established -

Troubleshooting  
Take the necessary action according to the network connection status.  
When Network Connection is Not Established  
Poor cable contact  
Disconnect the cables from the LAN jack, hub/router cable jack and computer cable jack located on the back of the AVeL  
Link Player, and then connect the cables again.  
Wrong IP settings (If the IP address was set manually)  
Confirm that the IP address and subnet mask entered in IP Settings for the AVeL Link Player are correct.  
Refer to "Setting the IP Address of the AVeL Link Player" (p.36).  
When Network Connection is Established Correctly  
AVeL Link Server has not been started/is not running  
Check if the connected computer is on and the AVeL Link Server program has been started/is running.  
If too many files are contained in the specified folder of AVeL Link Server, AVeL Link Server may still be starting.  
Delete some files in the folder specified in AVeL Link Server, or change to another folder by referring to "Reference on  
AVeL Link Server" (p.58). Then, restart AVeL Link Server and check if the problem persists.  
Firewalls are set in the computer  
If a virus detection program, firewall program or other security program is installed in the connected computer, the firewall  
function of such software program may be disabling communication between the AVeL Link Player and AVeL Link Server  
in the computer.  
If any of these software programs is installed in the computer, disable the firewall function of the program and then check  
if the problem persists.  
* With some resident applications, the firewall setting will not be disabled simply by disabling the program.  
Check how firewalls are set in your application and disable the specific setting.
