hi all im back to these helpful forums once again here goes:

i have a belkin wireless g mimo cable router which connects to my VM atlantic modem since ive had my belkin router ive had major problems with it with my downloads freezing and browsing losing connection. But if i use just the VM modem on its own my internet is perfect so when i download things this is what i do to keep a decent download connection. i had to install a new mobo yesterday as my old one died and the old mobo had a INTEL chipset my VM modem worked fine with it, my new mobo im using now is using a nvdia nforce ethernet controller and for some reason i cant get a connection just using my VM modem and can only get a connection using it through the belkin router which is no good for me as my downloads are still freezing even with my new mobo, hope im not confussing things, here apart from buying a new cable router is there anything im missing or can do to solve this mystery?

PS when using the VM modem the status says identifying network and everything is blank in the ipv4 dhcp server /ipv4dhcp gateway etc.
Also using Vista X64
