Do you have encryption enabled? If yes, temporarily disable
encryption and see if DHCP works. If it does, use a Hex WEP key
instead of an ASCII WEP key. If that doesn't work, you'll need to
disclose your unidentified model Belkin router. You might also check
if you have the latest firmware in the unspecified Belkin router and
possibly do some testing with a different known working laptop.
