Start>Run type in cmd

In the dos box type ipconfig

The "default gateway" is the address you need to put in your browser to see your routers settings.

For instance mine is 10.10.10.1

Windows IP Configuration


Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:

Check the hosts file in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and make sure that it hasn't got a 192.168.0.1 entry.

Also what make is your router, if you know this then you can usually search the default on the net.

lol its gone to yahoo again

Cause your not typing in "http://" before the IP... it then tries to search for it on yahoo cause of some crap you will have installed at one point or other...

If you've not already done it follow this link

http://192.168.2.1/

In Internet Explorer 7 you will have set one of your search engines as Yahoo hence it's using that to search.
