Hi
The lights on my cable modem have suddenly gone Orange (usually Green) and my router says you should be using a static IP address. This not then case as it worked just out of the box originally and got a dynamic IP address. I've tried another non-wireless router and I get the same message. Calling Virgin is not an option as this seems too tech for them.
Help greatly appreciated

What IP address do you get?
169 or 0.0.0.0

And what happens with a direct connection to the modem?
