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. (Windows

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.
