Check your IP address
After you install your new D-Link wireless adapter and have established a wireless connection, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain
an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
• Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. You may need
administrative access to run this application.
• For all additional prompt windows inquiring of running the command prompt
application, select Yes, OK, or Continue.
• At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.
• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and 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 rewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
