You will need to disable the integrated lan (or nic) in the bios and re-configure your connections by deleting that one you dont use anymore and add a new connection using your new DLINK.

yes i tried that already. Both NIC was discoverd during the start up so i configured them respectively but theres still the error. Anyway, what i want is both NIC will active. The other on will be for my public IP and the other one will be in our network.
