Bill: That is a bit of good info.

An easy way to tell, is to go to the dos prompt (CMD) type IPCONFIG and look at the default gateway. That should be the IP address for the router. If you do not have the manual, you can usually find the password stuff by typing the model number and password in GOOGLE. If you have changed the password and can't remember it, you can usually reset the router to it's defaults by pushing a button, or other series of events again available on Google.

I have a D-Link router. I believe that Linksys routers use 192.168.1.0 ... in any event, something very similar. The proper IP address should be shown in the router's manual.
