Curious what's not working. Is it a DHCP thing? On my upstairs TV I regularly hook up a laptop or just cast a browser tab (fullscreened) to the Chromecast when I want to watch Amazon video. My only real complaint is that I can't just cast from the Amazon video application on a mobile device the way I do with Netflix or HBO Go but that's just them wanting you to buy a Fire Stick so there's no Chromecast support in the app. When Chromecasting the tab is occasionally flaky I just plug in the spare HDMI that used to go to the Xbox.

That threw me for a second. "What would DHCP have to do with HDMI?". Clearly you must have meant HDCP, which I suspect is what the GP was referring to.
