That sounds like my cable modem when it is in offline mode. Press the online/offline button and see what happens.

Note that the DS light is telling you that your downstream network is communicating. The lack of a "US" (Upstream) or "Internet" lights tells me that either your modem is "broken", or your signal from the ISP is missing. I would contact your ISP for some quick over-the-phone troubleshooting to get more information. It very well may necessitate a Technician visit to verify signal strength at your location. Be advised that they will lean heavily toward "you need a new modem", even if you don't.
