Seems to be a server side error. Then contact their webmaster. To confirm that diagnosis, try it on another PC (friend, work, school, family, public library, whatever).

192.168.*.* is your local ip-address inside your home network, issued by your router. I assume 77.102 is your external address (that the modem shows to the outside world). That is correct. But as long as you don't tell how and when you noticed it, we can't be sure about it.

Thanks for replying.My ip address has been 192.168.1.2 for over 6 years. The last 2 weeks it changed to the 77.102.*.* address. About the ips error i have tried to login on a laptop same error message comes up.

Your IP address

will be different from your wireless router ip address.

Your wireless router will have one of 192.168.x.xx

You can find your ip address by going here.

Your ip address can change for various reasons. You ISP can change it, a power outage at your home will reset your modem/router, causing the change also.
