Power cycle your cable modem. Turn off your computers and then unplug
the cable modem. Let it stay off for 30-60 seconds. Then turn it on,
turn on your computers, and see if you have Internet access. If not,
call your ISP because maybe they are having problems. The first thing
they'll ask you to do is power cycle your modem, so you will be able to
say you already did.
