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.  (Windows  Vista®  users  type cmd  in  the Start  Search 
box.)
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.

Appendix B - Networking Basics
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 
below:
Step 1
Windows Vista® - Click on Start >  Control Panel >  Network and Internet >  Network and Sharing Center >  Manage 
Network Connections.
Windows® XP -  Click on Start > Control Panel > Network Connections.
Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
Step 2
Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your 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  192.168.0.1,  make  your  IP  address 
192.168.0.X where X is a number between 2 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 (192.168.0.1). 
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). 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.
