I'm glad I came across this thread. Last Friday we had the 50Mb Virgin Media Business service (with single fixed IP) installed and I could not understand why I couldn't get modem mode to function with our existing DrayTek Vigor 2860. Interestingly though I had already emailed Virgin Essentials and received this reply:
Quote:
With the single IP address the Hub's own router and wireless router are still operational, however, you can select modem mode and connect a third party router. On the third party router enter the PPP username and password in the L2TP section. Your firmware can then be viewed through SCV, layer 2.
The IP details are below:
IP Address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
PPP Username: xxxxxxxxxx@cable.vmbusiness.net
PPP Password: xxxxxxxx

I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else online and I'm unable to get it to work, though I could have one of the settings in wrong. I did email them back, but 2 days later haven't had a response yet.
Are Virgin talking nonsense here? I will pay for the 5 IPs if absolutely necessary, but would prefer not to since we don't need them!
