I have COX cable so DHCP would be the right way. My D-Link 655 wireless router is set for DHCP. I have a choice between PPPoE or DHCP so I pick DHCP. My wireless laptop is trying to connect to the Internet using PPPoE and won't connect. It will connect using Ethernet. How can I get my laptop on the Internet because it shouldn't be using PPPoE for wirerless?

Your router is set up for DHCP so your LT needs to be set up for automatic or Auto Obtain in the networking properties it it will automatically get an IP address from the 655 router.

You need to refer to your LTs Mfr support information on the wireless settings and how to configure them.
There's probably a wireless application or you can try to use Windows wireless application to connect to the 655 wireless SSID name.  

DHCP on the WAN or internet side of the router is mostly supported by Cable internet providers. PPPoE is mostly DSL providers.
