here's an idea - unplug the coax from your modem - it'll work like a dhcp server and dish out IP's in the 192.168.100 range. see if your router is able to maintain it's lease and refresh IP's etc.

if this is fine, their may be some issue with getting IP leases from the Virgin DHCP - although this isn't very likely.

if the problem continues, I'd say their is a bug in the firmware for your router - I had a similar issue with a cheapy wireless router and found that I had to factory reset it if I tried to use some of the settings on it (QOS and stuff) firmware update fixed it =)
