My router can't be restored!

Hey all,

Well, today i accidently disabled the dhcp thingy, and now my
entire home is unable to go on the net except for my desktop which is
using the cable inserted directly into it. Im using a Belkin F5D7230-4
router, i can go online using my local area connection, however, i have
to check the box stating "Obtain a ip address automatically" and "
obtain a DNS server automatically" before that, i had my laptop, ps3,
ipod touch and mobile phone could be able to connect to the internet,
now it can't.

It started because i changed my ip from 192.168.2.1 to
192.168.2.146 , i changed it because i was setting up a static ip
address, after changing it, a toolbox pop-up and said "Ip error, Another
computer is using this ip" and immediately, i was disconnected, i
switched on my laptop, and changed my ip once more to 192.168.2.1 ,
however, by then it was too late, i could not log on to the net.

So can anyone help me? Can i enable dhcp? i can't log on to my
internet once i connect my local area cable to the router. I tried
restoring my router by pressing the reset button for more than 2 mins, i
also went to the belkin site and foolow all the instructions there to
reset and restore my router, but it just can't.

Pls help me.

There should be a button on the back of the router that when pressed will
reset the router to factory settings. Then using the software supplied
re-install the router as per the instructions supplied with it.

Disconnect the power to the belkin hold in the reset button
and apply the power still holding the reset button in
wait approx. 30 seconds release reset button.
Router should reset to default
