Virtual DVD Server - CDH

Administration
Administration of the Virtual DVD Server is done through a web browser. The Administration page uses frames, and has eight sub-pages: Server Settings, Network Settings, Device Manager, Share Manager, User Manager, Event Log, Statistics, and Backup.

Open a frames-supported web browser (Netscape 3+ or Internet Explorere 3+) and enter the URL http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/ where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the IP address assigned to the unit.

If you exterience difficulty connecting to the unit.
Check the proxy server settings of the web browser. The proxy server must be disabled.
Are the workstation and the Virtual DVD server on the same subnet and in the same IP range?
