I had told my computer (via settings I had made) that whenever it wanted to get on the internet it had to do so via the Billion Brand router and had to go through a certain 'address' or 'gateway' (the address of the Billion router is http://192.168.1.254/).
Most computers are set to go to whichever address or gateway is available. Therefore the D-Link router wouldn't connect to the internet because the address or gateway is different. The D-Link is http://10.1.1.1/
Once I changed addresses to 'automatic' everything worked fine.
To give a computer its 'own' address rather than automatically find its address is needed for P2P file sharing!
