On site with a friend's company's systems.

Telecom guys run some updates, cut power to router, modem and assorted peripherals.

Power back on, phone works, but internet doesn't. Cable Co says internet is fine, must be a router issue.

I log into the router, which had the default password, find out it's statically set up. I bypass the router and instantly get an IP address i bring into the office.. Seeing as how static IPs are well, static. I figure they're not using a static IP. Set up the router to do so, now the PCs here can ping out by IP and browse by IP, but because the DNS is set up statically too, they can't get DNS. The PCs are also locked down. INdividually. So we get to figure out what each of the systems passwords are then tick the box, "Obtain DNS server address automatically."

*grumble*
