Networking Basics
Check Your IP Address
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.

Run
. In the run box type
cmd
and click on the

.
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.
If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel,
coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator
to verify their wireless network settings.
