I cannot find any info on the product you mentioned :(
Sticky me the link to the product at dlink if you can find it...

Most Dlink routers setup screen are similiar:

Remove your wireless adapter from your PC.

First - I would connect up to the router/access point via ethernet and log-in to the Dlink control panel. Go to "wireless" and under "Network ID(SSID)" create a network called "home" or something to that effect-> change the "Channel" to 6 and "Security" to "Disable Encryption". Under "Mac address control" - I would disable this for now. Make sure to save all settings. Reboot the router from the main login page under "tools".
You can change security settings later, after getting things working

Disconnect your ethernet from the router.

Re-insert your wireless adapter - you should see a couple of little "television" sets/computer screens show up down by your clock in WinXP. Double click the icon and select "properties".
Make sure you have the following network protocols installed (general tab):
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Print Sharing for Microsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Internet protocol - TCP/IP

Under "Advanced Tab"
UNCHECK the firewall protection

Under Wireless Networks (Tab)
Go to "Advanced" and check/select:
"Any Available Networks" & "Automatically connect to non preferred networks".

See if your network shows up under "Wireless Networks"

See if this works....

Edited: Make sure to shut down any software firewall you may be using like ZoneAlarm or NIS before doing any of the above
