routing ip addresses?

When a router is used to connect multiple computers to the internet it assigns them an ip address such as 192.168.1.xxx , well when you log in to the router (i.e http://192.168.1.1 pass: admin user: password ) and click on like LAN or whatever it tells you the IP address of the router. When I ping this address (not a default IP, a normal IP Like 68.138.xxx.xx ) it says the host is dead. So say I am in my room and Im trying to connect to my friends computer which uses a router which connects 3 computers in his house - how would I find the IP of his computer which would allow me to connect to his computer to play games / share files etc. as well as the IPs of the other computers on his network. I just don't understand how it all plays together - obviously there is a "main" IP coming in and then it gets like 'divided' by the router into the default ip addresses, but what about using their ip for a game etc.?
 
Just ask his IP when u would like to play.
I don't think u can find the ip's on your friends network. The router protects it, or maybe when u hack his router ;)
Let me know when u find it :)
 
Thats the thing, like when he sends me his IP through AIM (Right Click - Send IP) it says 192.168.1.xxx and im like no thats not your IP, so then I had him go to http://www.whatismyip.com/ and he sent me a normal IP which I pinged and although it said it was alive, that was not the IP in which I could connect to his computer to play games with. So I had him login to his router and send me all the IPs and he gave them to me, some which were dead and all the others which I could not connect to either. I must be missing something.
