Some common numbers are 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.0. They depend on the 
manufacturer of the modem/router.

Somebody, perhaps an install disk, has set your computer to use the router at 
that address.

If you open Network control panel - er select Network in the System Preferences 
option - you may be able to find the exact address.  You might have to choose 
to edit the settings in order to see the numbers. There WILL be a way out 
without changing anything. The proper number ought to be in some paperwork that 
came with your broadband installation. You might also check the web site of 
whoever supplies your connection and sends you a bill.

When you have the proper address, or perhaps by trying a few options just type 
the likes of:

http://192.168.1.128

in your browser as an address to go to.

You might also try typing:

netstat -nr

 in Terminal.app. The default line should show the address you're looking for.
