Networking Basics

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 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.
Check your MAC
Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipconfig /all and press Enter.
This will display information about all installed adapters on your computer. Your MAC address is listed as the "Physical
Address" and should look like xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx or xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
