Well, I solved the problem. I found a Netgear router at the office that we bought for a job and then for one reason or another it did not get used. I went into the config and turned DHCP. It worked right off the bat.
I put it in place of the d-link and it worked there as well. I have not had the time to reconfigure the d-link in the same manner to see if it works.
THANKS EVERYONE FOR THE HELP....I GOOGLED JUST ABOUT WHAT EVERYONE HAS SUGGESTED AND LEARNED TONS!
I'm Not an engineer, but I play one on TV. My handle is Tweety but I have nothing to do with the organization of similar name. I just had a really big head as a child so folks called me tweety bird.
