Perhaps the router is no longer using the same local (private, LAN
side of the NAT) IP address range?

If so, do this:
- start a Cmd prompt
- enter the IPCONFIG command
- look for the "gateway" IP
- use the "gateway" IP to access the router

You may also see the same information by rt-clicing the network
connection and checking Properties, or just double-clicking it.

Also, be sure to precede the IP with http:// as the browser may
otherwise do a "search" for it. Such browser logic may expect all web
site URLs to start with "www." as the cue that you want the http://
service, as opposed to ftp:// or whatever, so when the URL doesn't
start with www., you have to use an explicit http://
