Default Firewall trouble

I am having a problem where limewire says that it is being blocked by a firewall. I have figured out this is in the router which is a Zyxtel P-334WT. I have seen instructions on how to fix it, and I am supposed to type in 192.168.1.1 into my browser to adjust my routers settings and allow limewire to get through. The problem I am having is that when I type 192.168.1.1 into my browser it comes up with a Gateway Timeout error. I have searched other threads for a solution but nobody else seems to have the problem, please help.

Well, I've sorta same problem. In the instruction for port forwarding it says that we have to print the IP of the router into the browser address, which would lead us then to a login feature where we have to type our user name and password.
When first attempting this I got the time out error as well; so I tried the second DNS IP as I thought that might be the router IP and I came indeed to a log in screen. However, when using the user name and passwort supplied by my ISP to connect to the internet via adsl, nothing happened. I just got always back to the same screen.
So, I'm going to speak to my ISP on how to set up a static IP. As soon as I've figured out I'll let you know........

foolofthehill,
have you tried just using the username as 'admin' & the password as 'password'?
I've set up a static IP & the username & password for my modem were not the same as my username & password for internet use

Sorry if I'm way off base!

I can log into mine with username: admin, password: admin. Just thought I'd throw that in there.

Thanks 6_pac, I've tried this as well after reading your post. Again, no joy
But to clarify something (in case I misunderstood something). I tried to get to the log in screen by typing the DNS IP into the browser address. I actually have two. One is called primary IP and the other alternate IP. With the primary I got :"Problem loading page", with the alternate I get to a screen with a log in called : " Mrtg System : "
So, am I now at the right place or did I accidentally come to a place I shouldn't have come to (like the NSA security login or so )??
