I have just installed a dlink-615 router to my macbook. I am able to receive Internet connection via cable from router, but when I try for my wireless network that I setup, I am unable to connect.

I also have full signal for my created network from the dlink configuration website.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

well I am connected to the network I suppose (full service signal from airport) but when I open a browser I get a page saying that the address was not found ( a typical page I get when I am not connected to the internet)

You probably have security messed up. You need to setup WEP or WPA(better) security and match it on the Mac

Turn off WEP and switch it to WPA. WEP is dead (it can be easily hacked in a matter of minutes) and can be troublesome to get working as there is no standard for key usage. I'd be willing to bet that it works fine with WPA, which is MUCH easier to use.
