Router issues

Well, I have an old Dell Truemobile 2300 router that seems to be hosed. I was playing around with some settings earlier, and now I can't access the thing at all. It still powers on fine, and when a computer is connected to to it via one of the ethernet ports, LEDs come on and flicker at both ends, so I think it must only be mostly dead. The wireless doesn't work, though.

Unfortunately, I have no idea what to do to get it back and working properly - no combination of power cycling and resetting it has shown any results.

Any ideas as to what I can try to get this router running again?
 
Are you still able to access the internet through this router?
Are you getting an IP address from the router (if using DHCP)? (START > RUN > type 'CMD' hit enter > type "ipconfig".) If you get something other than 0.0.0.0, blank, or 169.254.x.x, then the default gateway listed will be the router's IP address. Type this into the browser address bar, and it should bring you to the router's config or login page.

when you were messing around, did you by chance upgrade/downgrade the firmware? I upgraded from 1.02 to 1.03 firmware last night on my D-Link WBR-2310, and it completly WIPED the config, had to start all over.
