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 on the 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.
