2611XM refuses to grab a DHCP address from an upper router.

Question

HI, first time here. Im a homeschooled student and trying to work on getting a CCNA. I ran into an issue which puts me in a stopping point. I have a Cisco 2611XM router in which im trying to pass internet traffic to a few select computers. The problem is the WAN (fa0/1) will not get an address from the d-link router which is handing out dhcp addresses to all my computers in the main network. Ive watched lots of youtube videos but only to validate Ive used the same methods they did. SO here is a quick run down of the topology.
cable modem>dlink router>cisco2611XM>dumbSwitch>Computer#3
                        >                  >LinksysSLMG224G 24 port switch>computers 1,2
As you can see my network splits off from the dlink into what needs to be 2 networks. 
So why cant I get the WAN interface of the 2611XM to grab a dhcp address?
