It may depend on what service you have.

You have to configure the the d link to connect to AOL, access this by typing http://192.168.0.1 in your web browser.

The correct settings are on this page under "What are the essential settings for connecting to AOL?"

It shouldn't need configured to give the PC an IP address though, unless DHCP has been disabled.
Have you tried resetting it do the default settings?

well when i resetted the dlink i got into online settings via admin/admin password but could not make any sense out of the screens i looked at portforwarding site but the screens they showed were totally different from the screen i could see so did not know what to do i can browse the net via i.e but if i try aol software i get that message

It could be that the aol software is still looking for the original modem connection, try creating a new location from the aol software, it should pick up the new connection method.
