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.

adapter.

Click Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt. You may

For all additional prompt windows inquiring of running the command prompt
application, select Yes, OK, or Continue.
At the prompt, type
ipconfig and press Enter.
This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway of your

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.
