from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.

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 fire-
wall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly
installed adapters.

your IP address 192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2
