Novice network type trying to get an older Toshiba satellite to hook up to the internet via my home network with a D-link router and a link-sys network card installed in the toshiba. OS is Windows XP/SP3. The XP network controller will not see my Dlink router located in the next room, but when I switch and allow the Linksys controller to take over my home net is there, but I get the IP conflict message. 2nd issue is we like AOL and when I install same on this toshiba it will not provide me with a Broadband option and limits the set up to dial up only. Any one that knows please help.

Is the DLink a router/modem that connects to an AOL ADSL connection? I'm just trying to figure out your network topology before making suggestions 
You almost certainly don't need to configure AOL on the laptop if you have a modem/router which sorts your broadband connection.
