CheckyourIPaddress
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.
At the prompt, type ipcong 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 rewall 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.
