I have established LAN with the help of D-Link router. I am having 2 desktops ethernet connection managed by this D-Link router.
One PC is with Windows 7 OS
Second PC is with Redhat Linux 6.1
Both the PCs now stands connected to internet via this D-Link router.

Hence on windows I have also ensured hosts file at \Windows\system32\drivers\etc is added with IP address of Linux machine.
That means that there isn't even a Layer-2 connection in place.
ARP (address resolution protocol) is working on its own address schema (the "MAC-addresses") and works below IP (=Layer 3).
When a IP-Host wants to contact another IP-Host on the same Ethernet segment this is how the communication is finally resolved: each host maintains a table (the so-called "ARP-cache", which the command arp lists) about which IP-address on the same segment relates to which MAC-address (=identifier for a certain network card) and uses this to contact the right host (more precisely: the correct IP-Interface of a certain host). For communication across segment boundaries there are bridges (or routers, switches, ...., which work the same in this regard), which are used as relays. Say, "hostA" (on segment A) wants to contact "hostB" (on segement B):
