Section 4 - Troubleshooting
Networking Basics
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. (Windows® 7/
Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)
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 DHP-W310AV. 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.
