Does the D-Link router provide internal/LAN DHCP services, if so then there isn't anything else needed other then ethernet cables connecting each machine to the router
 
Basically the DHCP server will provide every internal machine with it's own unique private IP address, usually in the 192.168.xxx.xxx range.
