D-Link EBR 2310 unable to connect Help!

Last response: in Networking

For awhile now I been using D-link EBr 2310 router splitting a DSL connection. One day, I had trouble connecting to a multiplayer lobby so I bypassed the D-link router and messed around in the dsl modem settings and was eventually able to play. That was many months ago. And I have no idea what I did in the dsl modem to get me into the lobby.

Now I want to use the D-link router again, so I hooked everything up as usual and it doesn't allow me to connect to the internet or even access the router settings itself. Normally, atleast from what I can remember, would get me into the router.

I tried using the installation disk that came with it but it can only get as far as detecting a network card but fails to detect and internet connection.

Now, if I plug in directly to the dsl modem I can connect to the internet fine, no probs.

Should I buy another router? Is this one toast? Was it possible for me to adjust some settings somewhere that prohibits me from using this router?

Only firewall I have is windows firewall and AVG which I disabled.

I remember doing some research on static ip's dynamic ips etc. I guess this is what I get for messing around where I have little understanding.

As, far as I know this router should work fine, however it has been plugged in for months and may have had an electric charge from a storm.

Any ideas?

EDIT: using WIndows XP


Step 1: Shutdown the computer.
Step 7: test the Internet connection.
