I don't know how your Dlink router works but most should work in the same manner. I have a netgear router so I am basing my ideas on how it works. To get an outside world address the router normally needs to be assigned a mac address of the registered computer that was being used before the router was installed. I would check what mac address is being used and perhaps change it to the other one to see if it works. Also is the router getting an ntl ip address assigned to it?

I missed this bit.
If the internet connection works with this pc then get the mac address and make sure that it is the one being used by the router.
