Configuring a router with XP Home

Some things to try

1) Are you running a software based firewall as well? If
so try turning this off before issuing the commands, it
could be blocking the traffic

2) check DHCP client service is enabled in XP

3) check DHCP server is enabled on the D-link router

The config is not in windows, but in the router. What did you
expect.
