It should bring up your router configuration information screen.

Check through the various configuration items to see if anything appears to be disconnected or not working.

That is not necessarily the routers address. The default router address varies by router model. Most folks find router configuration screens to be about as useful as a foreign language menu without pictures.

Try http://192.168.1.1 and http://192.168.0.1 also. The user name is usually "admin" or "Administrator", and the password is typically blank or "password".

The proper address will vary by ISP / router model.

To find the one that applies to your setup, open a command prompt (Windows-key R; enter cmd in the window). Type ipconfig. You should see something like this:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

Windows IP Configuration

The address in red is your router. That's what you should type into your browser location box. Hopefully, you will see a login screen of some sort. Try leaving the userid blank and entering admin as the password. If that doesn't work, find the manual for your router (probably available on the net if you can't find your paper copy) and see what the default combination should be. You may need to hard-reset the router to get it back to the default.
