[OT] router + manual DHCP setting

[Mike Bonner]

99% sure you're not set up this way, but if your belkin is setup to a
smaller subset subnet (IE a netmask other than 255.255.255.0) you coudl be
setting your IP's outside the range of the valid subnet.  As pointed out
tho, this is pretty unlikely unless you did it yourself.
