What am I doing wrong???

So with the PC hooked directly to the cable modem, it works. And with the
Siemens router it works. Check the configuration of those two. Is the PC
set to "obtain an IP address automatically" and the router something similar
like "dynamic IP"? Now check the D-Link: is it the same?

Some cable providers require authentication to connect. Does it look like
the PC or Siemens router are configured to provide a username and password?
If so, you'll need to configure the D-Link similarly.

it sounds like your hardware mac address is registered with your isp.
Usually they give you two ip addresses and you probably have one hooked to
your pc mac address and one to your router mac address (your siemens).

Look in your dlink for somewhere to manually enter a mac address and try
entering the mac address from your pc...see if it then works...

in windows xp , go to command prompt and type: ipconfig /all

and get the mac address (Called Physical Address) and will be
xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx format.
