Appendix B - 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.

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.
