Re: 2 routers 1 cable modem?
You can't do this.

1. Only one(if any) of the connected routers would get an IP address

2. splitters need to be used in pairs, combining two Ethernet feeds on to one cable, and then splitting the feed back into two again at the other end. Horrible things, have about 40 of them in use at work for offices where there aren't enough ports.

BTW, have you tied using the Virgin proxy.

Assuming your using IE7, go to tools, internet options, connections tab, press the lan settings button, and select the "use a proxy server for your LAN" box, in the box along side it that's marked address, type in webcache.virginmedia.com then put the number 8080 in the box titled "port". OK all open windows untill your back to the normal IE screen.
