    Your IP address that you connect to the internet is not the IP address used to login to the router. Check the manual..usually it's something like 192.168.1.1, or 192.168.2.1.

    Yes. If you manually enter you own IP into the TCP/IP properties, the Default Gateway is the same IP address that will log you into the router.
    If you haven't been into your router as of yet, again check the manual for the username and password.

    For example: [Linksys router]

    IP Address - 192.168.1.50
    Subnet Mask - 255.255.255.0
    Default Gateway - 192.168.1.1

    What IP address does the manual say to use? I'd suggest calling up their tech support, they'll be able to get you going.
