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.

Windows

XP/2000 Users

• Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

• At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.

• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter.

Windows 7/Vista

Users

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

administrative access to run this application.

• For all additional prompt windows inquiring of running the command prompt

application, select Yes, OK, or Continue.

• At the prompt, type ipcong and press Enter.

• This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and 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.
