Check your IP address
After you install your new network or wireless 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®
7/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.
