No, your router should be setup with DHCP and assigning IP's automatically. Your ISP probably uses DHCP to assign IP's but you only get one. Your router is what provides you with additional IP's usually in the 192.168.x.x range.

make sure you have a link light on the NIC on your PC (should be 2 lights blinking) and make sure the network cable is plugged in securely. then check your TCP/IP settings and make sure they are set to obtain IP address automatically.
