Networking Basics

Check your MAC and IP address

After you install your 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 Vista® users type cmd in the Start Search box.)
At the prompt, type ipconfig /all and press Enter. Locate
the information for the network adapter you are using; in
this case "Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection". (You
may need to scroll upwards to view the information that
you require).
The address listed next to "Physical Address" is the MAC
address of the device you are using.
This will display also the IP address (IPv4), 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
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on
newly installed adapters.
