what is it you type into the address bar again to find out what type and make of router you have?

Can you not tell by looking at the router? Or is this one of those "it's not really my router..." type deals? the address will start with 192.168.x.x I'd try the usual ones like 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1

The internal, LAN-IP address is normally set to a default, private number. Linksys routers, for example, use 192.168.1.1 for their internal IP address. D-Link and Netgear routers typically use 192.168.0.1. Some US Robotics routers use 192.168.123.254, and some SMC routers use 192.168.2.1. No matter the brand of router, its default internal IP address should be provided in documentation. Administrators often have the option to change this IP address during router setup. In any case, however, the private LAN-IP address remains fixed once set. It can be viewed from the router's administrative console.

Cheers i got it.

For anybody looking for their routers IP address in the future.......

Go to Start menu then run and type in command, when a dos box comes up type in ipconfig /all and look for "default gateway" as that will be your router and the IP address you need to use to access it

I'm actually a little embarrassed that I did not think of that...
