My router assigns IP address but I cannot ping router??

Help Please,
I have a D-Link DI-624 wireless Router with one Ethernet connected computer
and a few wireless. I just set up a new computer in my workroom and
connected to the wireless network/internet via a D-Link Ethernet bridge. I
have. When I put the new computer in the family room and connected the
router directly via Ethernet, I could not access or ping the router but when
I do an IPconfig, I have an IP address and the correct gateway. I have done
a /release & /renew which works but I still cannot connect when directly
connected to the router. I can unplug the cable to the router, re hookup the
Ethernet bridge and then have internet access. What gives here?
