Belkin Wireless Router Configuration

I have a Belkin 802.11b wireless router and was experimenting with some
of the settings accessible by the web interface via IP address
192.168.2.1. I was trying to integrate the router into an existing
wireless network run on a Linksys 802.11b router. I enabled "wireless
access point" mode on the Belkin and assigned an IP address which I
believe should be accessible the Linksys, 192.168.1.45. Immediately
upon applying the change I lost communication with the Belkin router
and have not been able to reestablish it.

Windows XP shows both routers in the wireless configuration list with
excellent signal but when I try to connect to the Belkin I get a
limited or no connectivity message.

I've tried to disconnect and restart the router, and to reset it
using the button on the back, but am still unable to establish a
connection. I suspect that it's still somehow functioning as a
wireless access point and as such has limited capabilities.

Is there any way I can connect to the router directly or access it via
the Linksys network to restore the original settings?

You changed networks -- assuming your subnet mask is the normal
255.255.255.0, your PC probably still has a 192.168.2.x address
and you moved the Belkin to 192.168.1.x -- change the ip address of
the PC to a 192.168.1.x address and you should be able to talk to it.
