VM don't "support" networking stuff, so they won't be able to guide you on setup issues. You can use a router, they just won't tell you how.

In most cases the default settings on the router are the answer. If you've been messing with it, do a factory restore, then resort back to the power off modem stage. Make sure your computers connection to the modem has been removed.

If you can browse to the router from your computer you know that part of the equation is working.

Make sure you are using a straight through ethernet lead between the modem and router WAN (internet) port. If in doubt try a different one.
