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.
• ClickStart > AllPrograms > Accessories > CommandPrompt. You may need
administrative access to run this application.

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.
