Click [Start] -> [All programs] -> [Accessories] ->
[Command prompt].·

Click [Start] button -> [Program] -> [Accessories] ->
[Command prompt].
2. In [Command prompt] or [MS-DOS prompt] window, input
[IPCONFIG] command as follows, then press [Enter] key.
Example: In case of C drive being the hard disk:
C:\ipconfig [Enter]
Check that the IP address is correctly displayed:.
IP Address................: 10.0.1.3
Subnet Mask.............: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway.........: 10.0.1.1
When IP address is displayed as [169.254.XXX.YYY] or [0.0.0.0],
IP address is not correctly fetched from the access point. In that
case, restart the computer itself. If the display is still unchanged,
check the setting of TCP/IP.
If [Cable Disconnected] or [Media Disconnected] is displayed
without showing IP address, check the setting of network name
(SSID) and network key. Also, set the network authentication
according to the access point.
