Networking Basics
After you installed your new network or wireless adapter, by default, the TCP/IP
settings should be set to obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server.
By default the DHCP server option on your AP is enabled.
To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below:
•
Click the Windows Start button and open the Run application.
•
In the Open check box, type cmd and click OK.
•
At the command prompt, type in the command 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, it means that your network
adapter did not receive an IP address from the DHCP server. Check your
adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your AP. Some
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed
adapters.
Statically Assign an IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/AP, or you need to assign a static
IP address, please follow the steps below:
•
Click the Windows Start button and navigate to the Control Panel >
Network and Sharing Center and click the Change Adapter Settings
option on the left panel.
•
Right-click the Local Area Connection, which represents your network
adapter, and select Properties.
•
Select the Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) option and click the
Properties button.
•
Select Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on
the same subnet as your AP. For example: If your AP is running on the
IP address of 192.168.10.100, use any IP address from 192.168.10.1 to
192.168.10.99, or 192.168.10.101 to 192.168.10.254. Use the Subnet
Mask of 255.255.255.0. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP
address of your AP. Set Preferred DNS server IP address the same as
the LAN IP address of your AP. The Secondary DNS is not needed at
this stage.
•
Click the OK button twice to return to the Network Connections window.
