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.
