Entering ipconfig in the cmd window gives me something called ipv4 address, ipv6 adress, and subnet mask, but I don't see anything close to the ip address my printer gives me. Sorry I'm being so dense. I appreciate your help.

Can you describe your internet hardware setup? router name, computer model name & #
72 is not a private network range, possible starting IP ranges 192. 172. or 10.

The default IP for your router is 192.168.0.1, if you can not acccess it then you while need to reset it.
The computer is connected to the router thru the ethernet cable?
