I am assuming the D Link wired router has more than 1 LAN port + 1 WAN port.
If you have only 1 LAN port, purchase a network switch and connect the D Link LAN port and all LAN pcs to the network switch.
The D Link router configuration may also be an issue. Check the manual for the exact way to address the matter. You should have the D Link set up to enable DHCP to the LAN ports and have sufficient LAN IP addresses in the DHCP range to more than meet your needs. If you have 8 network devices you need at least 8 LAN IP addresses (I would want at least 20 available for 8 network devices, over kill will not hurt). Let's say your LAN uses 192.168.1.0 / 24 (the default gateway and router is most likely 192.168.1.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0); set the DHCP range at 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.125 to provide up to 26 IP addresses; if the range ends at .150 you would be able to provide 51 LAN IP addresses).
Make sure all pcs are set to obtain their IP address and DNS automatically and all should work.

You don't actually say what the problem is, but if you set all the pcs to obtain tcp/ip settings automatically they should all work.
