I'm having exactly the same problems as in the first posting.

I have a new Vista PC and new 10MB cable modem and the above Belkin router. I can't get an internet connection. I've used the wizard to set up the router. I've set it up manually checking the configuration settings with Virgin.

I've also tried with another Belkin router and a Netgear one too. It's always the same - no internet connection. I've tried numerous different configuration settings, all to no avail.

I did notice in the security log on the router web page the following web log

DHCP client: send discover - sent every 5 seconds followed by
DHCP client: could not find DHCP daemon to get information

The router web page does not report an IP address, so it looks to me like the ISP is not providing an IP address.

It gets curiouser too. If I remove the router, then the internet connection is fine. This is true for dynamic IP and DNS resolution as well as static DNS using the IP addresses provided by Virgin.

Like the original posting, everything was fine before my upgrade when I had an XP PC, and a 4MB connection through the STB and a working wireless network. So I tried swapping out the Vista PC for the XP PC, which according to Virgin 'should just work. However, I am now unable to get a direct connection to the internet at all from the XP PC.

Virgin are now going to investigate, whereas before they were quite happy to say that the modem is ok.

To reply to this thread, I've gone back to Vista PC directly connected to the internet which worked fine.

Any ideas?
TIA
