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.

Click on

Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

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.
