From reading the post history here, I suspect your issues had nothing to do with the SH3 at all but just a Virgin issue that crops up every now and then.
Basically, when switching to modem mode you have to be very careful with how you connect the router into the hub, what order you reboot things and what things you set before and after it. This is even the case for the old standalone modems as well.
For example, if you had your computer plugged into the hub's port 1, switched to modem mode and then plugged the router in - it DEFINITELY won't work, not until you reboot both the hub and the router.
Worse still, sometimes the modem gets "stuck" and refuses to talk to anything else because you can only have so many devices "assigned" to the MAC of the modem before it just refuses to give you a new IP. This sounds remarkably like what you've experienced.
There is a way to reset/flush this that involve some jiggery-pokery with the coaxial cable but it sounds like you've got it sorted now. Just keep in mind any time you're going to change router (or swap modem/hub modes), you should really power off everything beyond the hub and reboot the hub before powering anything else back on.
