The What Hi-Fi? Awards winners have been revealed! During that time she has been fortunate enough to travel the world to report on the biggest and most exciting brands in hi-fi and consumer tech and has had the jetlag and hangovers to remember them by.

In her spare time, Becky can often be found running, watching horror movies and hunting for gluten-free cake. What Hi-Fi? It may not display this or other websites correctly.

If so, how would you recommend i do this. At the store, the guy who sold me the Zeppelin said that he tried doing the same, but was not able to connect it through an optical cable. Instead he suggested using the scart-adapter. However, that didn't work for me Any suggestions??? StevieBuck Well-known Member. Thanks StevieBuck, yes I have seen the guide, but according to the guy at the store, the solution with the optical link on the zeppelin and the aux on the Samsung LED TV did not work.

Thats why I would like to hear of your real-life experiences with connecting these two devices. RustyTheSnowman Member. How have other people done it? The optical cable Toslink works I have tried reseting the Zeppelin as per manual instructions. Turning off Windows firewall, disabling AVG resident shield, turning off my wifi adaptor swapping the cable. I have also tried repairing the network but it hangs on the 'Aquiring Network Address' and then returns the same limited connectivity message.

I can't really 'pop' it back to my apple store as it will mean a 3 hour round trip. So, I am not a happy camper. Thanks in anticipation. RobM Distinguished Member. Can you give some detail as to how you have connected the Zeppelin to your computer?

Is it a straight Ethernet cable from one to the other? Hi Rob, Thanks for replying. I have it connected directly into the laptop running Win Xp. I have tried the Ethernet cable that came with it and a cross over cable and another Ethernet for luck , but still no joy.

I tried connecting in Windows safe mode with the networking enabled and that yielded bot all too My suspicion is it is knackered, which bearing in mind the distance I travelled to get it, worries me. Then the behaviour you're seeing is exactly what you would expect, given the way you have configured it It has limited connectivity because neither of the two devices connected to each other are able to automatically assign the required configuration, namely IP address, subnet mask and default gateway DG is less critical.

How does your PC get out to the internet? If so, using straight-through Ethernet cables i. All you've done by connecting both with a cable, is given a physical connection. But as you have provided no network connection the two devices cannot communicate. So you don't have a problem or a warranty claim to make, you just need to adjust your setup. Zeppelin Air will switch on in Standby mode with the indicator illuminated dim red. This may take up to 90 seconds during which time the Zeppelin Air indicator will flash purple.

The indicator will show continuous purple when the wired network connection is fully established. This will open the Zeppelin Air setup page see Diagram 7 on next page. Changing the name is useful if more than one Zeppelin Air is to be connected to the network.

Enter a new name Zeppelin Air Kitchen for example I am, after all, just trying to ready the speaker for Airplay, not actually wanting to use it 'wired'. I hope that makes sense? I'll keep you posted. I thought about connecting it through the AE, but figured I would follow the instructions to the letter.

Click to expand Hi Smithy37, Yes, in order for you to stream wirelessly, the Zeppelin Air will need to be "joined" to your network. In other words, the Zeppelin Air will be seen as a network-speaker of sorts. Go with the Quick Start Guide supplied in the box or as I had attached. Place power cable in, dim red will glow. Press power button, purple LED will flash for upto 90 seconds.

When purple is static, go into your internet browser, and type I can assure you it's really simple to set-up, it took me about 4 mins. So, I have just spoken to their wonderful technical support who fixed this problem. Then connect the power cable and power on. The zeppelin light will eventually stop blinking purple and go solid purple.

Then enter safari and put in the IP address.
