How to 'delete' Internet Explorer and block Firefox?
kitamesume:
i'm saying that two IPs are conflicting with each other, making the router reject connections, so i had to change one and the router's is the easiest to configure, unless you're telling me its bad to change it then i can't think of other reasons as to why not do it.
now that i think of it, the black box is the one causing the conflict, but since the ISP wouldn't give me it's password then i couldn't access it, my real IP is 115.xx something and the blackbox is giving out a 192.168.xx ip which conflicts with the router's default ip.

Whats happening is that the modem you got from the isp acts as a router as well. You are breaking rules using a 177 ip with in your lan. You need to use a private ip on the lan side of your router or you may get connectivity issues. There is a reason private address space was set up for private lans.
lets say you try to connect to someone that got assigned the ip you randomly picked outside the private address space. When you go to connect to them your router will think the address is inside your lan and you will not be able to connect. That said your subnet is a /24 so the chance of you wanting to connect to one of thos 254 addresses is small.
I listed the private ip ranges set aside by rfc1918, use one of them.
If your modem is giving an address like 192.168.1.1 use something like 192.168.10.1. From what you did not white out, I can tell that the modem is using a /24 subnet. So, the 3rd decimal is the only number that needs to be different.

is there any particular symptom for my decision of changing it into 177? because so far out of the years i've used that IP i've yet to encounter a site that rejects me.
Freedom Kira:
Rather than reject, it just so happens that there exist a small number of sites that have the 177 IP. Since your router redirects those IPs back into the network, you'll have problems connecting to those sites. They won't be rejecting you, but rather, your setup will prevent you from ever reaching them.

It's rather simple if you know the technical details :P let me explain this to you in detail:
The combination of router (as the routing instance), DNS (for IP lookup) and your IP choice is the problem that breaks your request for this specific site... in your private network you can give yourself any IP range you want (with some exceptions of course ;)) The router knows which address range belongs to your private network and to the "outside". Let's say you have a request for the site "xyz.com". Your browser asks the DNS server which IP belongs to this url and delivers you an IP 177.1.0.3. Let's say your IP range for your local network is from 177.1.0.2 till 177.1.0.254. Now your browser sends the request for 177.1.0.3 to the router. Your router doesn't know that you want an external site but knows that this IP belongs to your private space. So the router will never ask your ISP to deliver data from "xyz.com" but asks your local network - here the PC with the IP 177.1.0.3 - for the homepage data.
To prevent these conflicts there are local address ranges that you can freely use:

I hope this explanation will help you understand your issue :D
