Networking Basics
Checking your IP address
After setting up your PC’s connection to the router, 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 command and click OK.
At the prompt, type ipcong 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 rewall 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 administrator to verify
their wireless network settings.
