have you specified a proxy in IE? if so try removing it.

also is your computer picking up a valid ip from the router? it should start 192.168...

Make sure the machine you're connecting with has an IP address in the same range, i.e. 192.168.0.2-255, I think to do a proper rest you have to hold the reset button in for a fairly long period while turning it on, and keeping it pressed, worked for me.
