Please check (and/or post) the output of ifconfig on all three machines.
Make sure the D-Link is attaching as the interface you think it is
(urtwn0), and double-check the /etc/hostname.* files on each machine.

Also make sure that the D-Link is connecting to the same network and AP.

Are you changing the MAC address of the interface on any of the
configurations?  Does your router have a static address for this
particular interface, or is it handing out addresses from a pool?

It's impossible to tell without further information.  The output of
ifconfig and the contents /etc/hostname.* (remember to redact the wifi
secrets) would be helpful.
