I had a not very similar problem with my Belkin wireless PCI card, but it may help.

I had problems installing it and finally read the manual, this said rather surprisingly that you had to install the software drivers *before* putting the card into the PC. I think it had something to do with initialising the card when it first started. I think all these cards use the Broadcomm chipset so D-Link may be the same.

I'd also try to manually config the IP addresses, as Timewarrior suggests.
