that fact is i should be able to do it and can't so theres a problem with VM right? i cant set up the router because the process of setting it up refreshes the IP automatically once this happens i get limited or no conectivity so i try and repair the connection and i get a message saying cannot renew you ip address please contact your network manager (VM) which ive done three times and they dont understand.

the only way i can get the connection back is by rebooting, ive done this with the router connected as well but can't access the settings because i can't set it up properly for the reason stated above.
