Virgin only give you one WAN IP address, so therefore only one device can be connected at a time. That's why a router is needed to share a connection.

Have you at any point changed the MAC address of the virtual USB-Ethernet adapter? That would possibly explain why removing it allowed the ethernet connection to work.
