The cable modem finds and locks onto a signal - the SYNC and RDY light should light and remain lit. When your PC boots, Windows looks for a server that can provide an IP address, then it asks that server for an IP address. You need an IP address to browse the Internet, access email and so on. Your IP address can change at any time, but it oftens remains the same. From what you say, it looks like your cable modem isn't finding and locking onto a signal.
