Connecting Mac to Ethernet

My Mac has suddenly stopped being connected to the net via Ethernet. My ISP tells me that in the Mac Network Utility I should select Configure IPv4 - Using DHCP. It still comes back that Ethernet has a self-assigned IP address and will not be able to connect to the Internet. Can anyone please tell me why it is doing this when I assume it should not be self-assigning an IP address. Thanks.

The first think I would do is reboot the router then the computer.
