Installing D-link wireless network card

I am having difficulty getting my D-link DWI-520 wireless
PCI card installed and communicating on a WIN ME
computer. The device manager says that the card is
installed and working properly. However, when I do
winicfg to check on network communications devices, the
card does not appear. When I run the card's utility
program, I can see the network with a strong signal but
can not communicate with it. For some reason, the card
can not get an IP address from the router for
communication. The router is working properly and will
allow access to the internet when connected directly to
it. There seems to be some problem with setting ME to
comunicate with the network through the card. Help!!
