Sounds like the setup wizard which came with your router may be incorrectly detecting your type of internet connection. You shouldn't have to enter an IP address if you have a normal VM cable connection or adsl connection for that matter (unless you're on Demon).

Go to the wan configuration pages of your router and check that you have set it to pick up an IP address automatically. Save the changes, restart the router and reboot your PC.
Might also be an idea to reboot your cable modem while the router is powered down.
