After you install your new D-Link adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
Click on
Start
>
Run
. In the run box type
cmd
and click
OK.
(Windows® 7/Vista® users type
cmd
in the
Start Search
box.)
At the prompt, type
ipconfig
and press
Enter
.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the
default gateway of your adapter.
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation,
security settings, and the settings on your router.
Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP
request on newly installed adapters.

Click
Use the following IP address
and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet
as your network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example:
If the router´s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X
where X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in
use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router
(192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
