Messed up my router ! need help to fix

[Tyrant222]

Heres the story in a few lines:

I have 2 computers in my room. My main rig and a spare i use for ftp and cs server sometimes. Now somehow my spare rig got viruses up the wazoo. This was detected by Norton on my main rig. Well i knew i'd have to reformat and all that thats no problem and also i thought I would close port 20 and 21 and that other thing I have to do to make it work as a server. So stupid me goes into the router setup screen and disables EVERYTHING on the page that allows the pc to work as a server. Now I restarted and my router wont work. I believe I disabled 'Using DHCP server'! I believe this was BAD! Now I cant get into the router setup.

Calling all folks with 3COM 5C510's or any other knowledge. I know im missing terms and stuff but thats because I can't remember them.

How can I reenable this setting even though I cant get into the router setup? thank you in advance!

Is there a hardware reset switch on the router? Don't know about this particular router, but I imagine there's one on there somewhere.

nope just on/off that I can see, maybe a set of things I have to do to reset it? Ive checked the manaul but no help.

more help appreciated !

EDIT:

Ok I changed my IP to 192.168.2.5 and then I was able to get into the router setup menu. Then I promptly changed DHCP Server to Enabled, and restarted my computer and the router. After the restart I change my IP back to auto, and it still doesnt work. I know the cause of the problem, I fix the problem, yet it refuses to work !
