How do I prevent google from auto searching for something I enter into my address bar?

Frustrated: How do I prevent google from auto searching for something I enter into my address bar?
I’m having problems connecting to my router. I enter the IP address into the address box, and Google takes over and searches the internet for that IP address…I can’t seem to get it to stop, and it won’t take me to the router menu.

It means whatever IP address you’re entering is unreachable which means it doesn’t exist on your network.

IE will take you to the search page of your default search engine when IE can’t find something. It’s not Google’s fault, it’s because whatever you’re trying to find isn’t there, so either your router isn’t hooked up properly or it has a different IP address

You may need to reboot your router. I’ve had some trouble logging into some older Linksys routers because the web interface stops responding. To make sure you have the address right, though, try pinging it.

START -> RUN. Enter “cmd” (without quotes). Hit Enter.
You will get a black command prompt window.
Let’s assume your router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1. To ping it, you would enter:
ping 192.168.1.1 [ENTER KEY]

You should then see something like this:

Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:

Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
==========================================

If you see something other than that like "Request Timed Out", "Destination Host Unreachable" or some other error, the IP is wrong, or the router does not respond to ping requests.
