forget the fact that theres a router involved for a second, i want to refresh my ip address, you would either go through network connections and click repair or go through dos and ipconfig /release/renew. the only way i can get a new address is by rebooting. i think theres a problem with virgin media as the are basically rejecting my request for a new ip.

the reuter

during the set up process the modem or pc tries to communicate with the router by refreshing the internet connection, only it can't do that because it can't obtain a new address.

It should simply be a case of powering off the modem, unplugging any ethernet or USB connections you've had between your computer, connecting your router's WAN (internet side) ethernet port to the modem, and a computer to the router's LAN (network) port, power modem, let settle, power router, let settle, power computer.

ive done that but i get the power, what port its connected to and wireless lights but no internet light, it works but i cant connect a laptop or ps3 to the internet through it. Also ive tried connecting my ethernet cable directly to the laptop and get nothing.

the modem im using is an ntl 250 if that helps and the router is a belkin wireless 802.11G, i know there are issues with this router and VM but ive downloaded a fix for it, as for connecting to the admin pages i go to 192.168.2.1 but just get this page cannot be displayed.
