2. Type *ipconfig /all* and press Enter/Return
2. Type **ipconfig** and press Enter/Return
3. A local network addresses usually takes the form of **192.168.x.yyy**
3. Try typing the number after "IPv4 Address" into Moonlight's Add PC dialog. Try all of the listed addresses until one of them works. Addresses starting with **192.168** are typically the correct ones.
* If none of the IP addresses work, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).
4. On your PC, enter the PIN displayed in Moonlight and accept the pairing dialog. If you don't see a pairing dialog, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).
5. Use a gamepad or mouse and keyboard connected to your client device, and try streaming a game or app to make sure everything is working. If you can't successfully stream, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).
5. Try streaming a game or app to make sure everything is working. By default, GeForce Experience will reserve Player 1 for the Moonlight client's gamepad. If you want to use a gamepad connected directly to your gaming PC, follow [these steps](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Setup-Guide#using-a-gamepad-connected-to-the-pc-instead-of-the-streaming-device). If you can't successfully stream at all, try the [troubleshooting steps here](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/moonlight-docs/wiki/Troubleshooting).
