Sounds like it was reset. You need to restart your router, shut it off by unplugging it for about 5 minutes, and turn it back on. When you turn it back on it should go through the process of locating another IP address. Hope that helps.

Make sure the cablemodem is connected to the WAN port of the router.
Try this:
1. Turn off all computers.
2. Unplug the power from the router and the cablemodem.
3. Wait 30 seconds.
4. Plug the power in on the cablemodem and wait until the modem boots up, until the online light is solidly lit, should take about a minute.
5. Plug the power in on the router, wait 30 secs for it to do its selftests.
6. Turn on the computers 1 at a time and see if they can connect to the internet by trying to go to www.yahoo.com

while you're utilising a prompt router, you have conflicting IP addresses. case in point in the adventure that your routers IP is 192.168.a million.a million and your ethernet card is an identical, you will possibly prefer to set the ethernet card/adapter IP address to 192.168.a million.2. flow to community Connections on top of issues Panel --> open residences for the ethernet adapter -->pick internet protocol (TCP-IP)-->click residences and alter IP address.

turn all computers off. turn the router off for a few seconds then back on. then turn the computers back on. That should correct it again. ip:0.0.0.0 means the router did not assign an address to the computer.

Check the web site of the router for firmware updates.
