Assigning a Static IP Address
(for Windows® 2000/XP)
Note:  Broadband  Routers  will  automatically  assign  IP  Addresses  to  the  computers  on  the  network,  using  DHCP 
(Dynamic  Host  Configuration  Protocol)  technology.    If  you  are  using  a  DHCP-capable  Gateway/Router  you  will  not 
need to assign Static IP Addresses.
If you are not using a DHCP capable Gateway/Router, or you need to assign a Static IP Address, please follow these instruc\
tions:• Go to 
Start
•  Double-click
 on Control Panel
•  Double-click
 on Network Connections

Appendix A - Assigning a Static IP Address
• Input  your IP  address  and  subnet  mask. (The  IP  Addresses 
on your network must be within the same range. For example, if one 
computer  has  an  IP  Address  of  19 .168.0. ,  the  other  computers 
should  have  IP  Addresses  that  are  sequential,  like  19 .168.0.3  and 
19.168.0.4. The subnet mask must be the same for all the computers 
on the network.)
•  Input your 
DNS server addresses. 
(Note: If you are entering a DNS server, you must enter the IP Address of 
the Default Gateway.)
The DNS server information will be provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider.)

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 admi\
nistrator to verify their wireless network settings.

Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps bel\
ow:
Step 1
Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link network adapter and select Properties.
Step 3
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address 
on your router. 
Example: If the router´s LAN IP address is 19.168.0.1, make your IP address 19.168.0.X 
where  X  is  a  number  between   and  99.  Make  sure  that  the  number  you  choose  is  not  in 
use  on  the  network.  Set  Default  Gateway  the  same  as  the  LAN  IP  address  of  your  router 
(19.168.0.1). 
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (19 .168.0.1). The Secondary 
DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
Step 5
Click OK twice to save your settings.
