Modem not working?

Had a big storm the other night and now my modem isn't working.  All the lights come on, but no internet.  I've tried resetting the modem and router multiple times.  I have plugged the modem directly into my PC, still no internet.  It was working fine on Tuesday night, storm came in and doesn't work Wednesday morning.

Went and got another modem and is working perfectly fine now.  Thanks for all the help.

The modem appears to be online when I look from this end however it doesn't look like a computer or router is plugged into it from what I can tell.  Is the PC light on the modem lit?

All of the lights are on, except the link light.

If you have the modem connected to a PC, there is no communication as we are unable to see an IP address for the computer.  The modem, however, is online with no issues.  I would recommend reseating and/or swapping out the ethernet cable going from the modem to the computer.  If that does not work, do you have another device you can connect your modem to?  Perhaps another PC or a router?

I've tried three different ethernet cables. I've plugged and unplugged them from my router and PC. Could the Ethernet port on the back of the modem be messed up?  Could I go to a cox store and exchange this one out?  

Also, I have my network settings up on my PC and it doesn't even show that I have an ethernet cord plugged it. There is just no connection between the modem and PC.

As long as that modem is in stock, you should be able to replace it no problem.  I would like to reset the modem from our end to see if that helps.  Are the modem and computer still connected via ethernet cable? Do you also use a wireless router?
