Troubleshooting with Commands

If the output shows Gateway as 10.250.0.109, your configuration is correct.

Otherwise, try the following commands:

C:\> ipconfig /release

if wrong/automatic IP address is released, it will display new IP address as 0.0.0.0

Repeat command till you get this new IP address

C:\> ipconfig /renew

It will get new IP address from DHCP server automatically. Check with 'ipconfig /all' command again to verify the gateway.

Output of Fully configured WLAN

Check

DHCP Server: 10.250.0.77

If not, try ipconfig commands....

Ping : Check Connectivity

Finally PING your DHCP Server to get similar output as shown above.

Hope You can configure your Wireless Networks on your Own
