That means that when your router goes to connect to the internet, it sends a request for an IP address to the ISP. This is the same way that your computer's will request an IP address from your router on your private network.
Anyways, the trouble would be (from your description) only with the wireless. Since you can connect to the internet when WIRED to the router, there is no need to verify and go through the hardware connections, as a problem there would prevent wired access to the internet also.
We have many puzzle pieces, but there are still a few missing... Your router (DI-524) is an 802.11g router. Since your computer can see the network, I can assume that it is using 802.11 B or G. Do you have any security on the wireless in the router? Are you getting an error when trying to connect? What does it say specifically?
