Router set up

Hi,
I purchased a DI-524 Wireless Router today and I am having problems
connecting my desktop with Kubuntu 5.10 to the router. I tried going
through all the router documentation and went to D-Links website and
could not find any help. I also went to the wiki, and even though there
is a fair amount about wireless connectivity, there is nothing about
simply connecting a computer to the router.
Everything seems fine until I get to the point where I need to type
the IP of the router in the browser. The browser keeps on telling me it
can't find the address.
My desktop is a dual boot Kubutnu/Win XP so I went into the Windows
XP and was able to get the router working; but the CD install did not
work, I had to use the quick guide instructions. So, I now the unit is
working, but of course I want it to work in Kubuntu which is my main OS.
I also have a laptop and I purchased a DWL-G630 wireless card to go
with the router. I was originally able to get a connection with the
router before I set it up, but now I can't seem to. The laptop is also
running Kubuntu 5.10. When I go to Network Connection I notice the
wireless card is showed disabled; the same is true with the PC's
ethernet card. When I go into administrator mode and select enable the
card simply reverts back top enabled; so, I don't know if I need to
enable it some how.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
