I had the same problem with a TP-Link router. Turned out to be a conflict with ip address of router and modem and changing TP to 192.168.2.1 and ir worked. Same problem with D-Link600 but can't seem to get it to work as under status it shows busy. Yet I am almost certain its a related problem.

Of course you can. What you can't (or at least shouldn't) change is the WAN IP address, which is set by your ISP. The LAN address is whatever you choose it to be.
The manual states the default IP address for this router is 192.168.0.1. For the initial setup, I recommend you to connect it only to a notebook/desktop through cable. Set the notebook NIC's IP to something like 192.168.0.2, then login to the router at http://192.168.0.1. Change the router's IP address in the main page, as stated in page 31 of the manual:
http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20600/Manual/DIR_600_B_2_Manual_EN_UK.pdf
Set the notebook's IP to something in the same range and you should be able to connect to it again.

It isn't offensive or worth shouting about (capital letters).
There are two IP addresses - one internal within your network and one external which identifies you on the Net.
In short, changing the internal IP is possible but not worth bothering to do. The external can be faked but anyone doing it here will be found out and probably banned. A fake external IP would only be used to hide for some reason - usually nefarious reasons.

Unless you already have a device with the same IP in the same network, in which case it is necessary. This could happen if you have two routers in the same network, as they may have the same default IP address. I concede that this scenario would be a bad network design, as it wouldn't be a good idea to have two routers in a single home network. Still, there are possible scenarios where this can be used (one wireless router, one DSL router that can't be switched to bridge mode).
