Can't connect to my modem config page

[Mistakes]

Hello I am having a problem, which isn't letting me make a server public, because of closed ports.

I need to access my modem config page which I could access months ago. In Start, Run, cmd, ipconfig, my default gateway is "192.168.1.1". when I type it in Chrome Browser it says Error 324(when antivirus on) and Error 101(when antivirus off). Tried with explorer (cant connect), Firefox(says done and a blank page) and opera, none working.

The last time I could connect to that configuration page was like 4 months ago but I think I did something wrong and can't do it anymore.

I called my ISP and when I asked to help a dude who answered said it's your own fault, not our problem...stupid customer support.

Can someone help me, how can I connect to that configuration page again?

Edit: Forgot to mention, my modem is TP-Link version TD-8610.

first you need to make a proper identification of the equipment. If this has multiple lan ports its a router not a modem
second is to help you with equipment you need to tell us make and model.

its TP-Link and model TD-8610.
Also its not a router its a modem it only has 1 lan port.

TD-8610

Look to the right side and you will see user guide.

Couple of things to know.

you can't forward ports with a modem
you can only forward port with a router
you would need to first put the modem in bridge mode before adding the router.\
reason is the modem is giving out a private ip which you can't forward. You need the public ip to forward ports.

My modem is blocking ports, I think nothing else can do it... I tried with both firewalls and antiviruses off but ports still stay closed. If I can't forward them in modem, then how can I open them for access from outside network?
Or, how can I do it with my public ip?

common misunderstanding

ports are not open by default
forwarded port= open port
not forwarded = closed

your modem can not block ports just as it can't forward ports. your isp could block ports
If you review my answer in #4 you will see the answer to your question of how to forward ports.

Now if you don't want to put in a router you can try using the windows firewall to allow certain ports access [understand what you are doing or you are opening holes for hackers/rouge programs to enter]

But in windows firewalls I opened the ports.
This is what I did:
I clicked Windows Firewalls, Exceptions tab and Add port..., then I typed the port I wanted to open and confirmed. But when I check my ports with port checking webpages they say the ports are closed. Maybe a NAT can block the ports? If yes how can I create holes in it? I dont know, just asking... while ports are open in firewalls, and modem cant block them then why are they still closed?

[Wand3r3r]

Did you ask your isp if they are blocking ports?

For example a number of ISP TOU don't allow web servers so they block port 80

[Mistakes]

I asked them and they said they arent blocking any of those ports...I dont know what is blocking them.

[Mistakes]

Firewalls and antivirus not blocking ports. I have no router, modem and isp not doing it either...what else can block the ports?

I would recommend that you hard reset the modem. You will find a reset button on the modem. press and hold it for 20 sec and then restart the modem and then check the default gateway and try to log in to the modem configuration page and hopefully it will work.

try Safe Mode with Networking. Most firewalls are disabled there.

I tried to reset my modem but I dont see anything happening. There's a small button on the back of the modem, I tried holding it for 30 seconds but I dont see anything happening I dont know if it is working or not...I'll try again.

Also how to use safe mode?
When starting Windows click F8 and choose safe mode with networking?

[Mistakes]

ok I tried to reset the modem I clicked the small Reset button and after 30 seconds holding it, I turned both modem and PC off. Then after turning them on, it didnt work.

I also tried to use safe mode it didnt work either. Usually chrome says error 324 but in safe mode it was 101, but still didnt work.
Tried in explorer too, didnt work either.

I have both WinXP and Win7 in my computer and in 7 I could see a network map.
This is the map:

pc-123-
----Switch----Modem----Gateway----Internet
cc------
(I have 2 computers connected to switch, then the switch connects to modem)
What is that gateway thing can it be a router? I dont have a router in my home and I only have the modem connected directly to telephone cable.
I'm just saying this because it may be helpful but I don't know...

Oh wait is it possible that I have a router (I dont really know if I do or not) and router and modem have the same IP???
I thought I have no router but Im not sure after reading a guide in internet. It says if in Ipconfig command I have internal IP and in www.whatismyip.org external one it means I have a router.

How can I be sure if I have a router and if I do, how can I change the IP of the router or modem if there's any conflict?

I'm confused.....
