I can't find anything called a "300+" on the D-Link web site. Is your
D-Link device an ADSL modem or an ADSL router? Those are different
types of devices. What is its complete model number? Examples of
current D-Link model numbers are DFL-300, DI-524, and DSL-302G.

An ADSL router has two IP addresses: a static local area network
address (such as 192.168.0.1), and an Internet address (probably
dynamic) assigned by your Internet Service Provider.

Where do you see the 169.129.171.41 address? What tells you that it
belongs to the ADSL device? That's not an address that I would expect
to see on the local area connection of an ADSL router.

What is your computer's IP address? To see, right-click the local
area network connection and click Status | Support. If that address
is 169.254.x.x, it means that your computer isn't detecting a
connection to the ADSL device.
