hi james,
i cant get any access to anything when i change the vm router to modem mode, really confused i will go through the steaps i have taken just to give you an idea of whats going on
.
arktech,
i cant actually get onto the log in page of the belkin router. the only page i can get onto is the virgin media page.
my wireless router is the superhub 1. so it has just a power cable
and the coaxial cable which is from the wall socket.
i have followed james guide (
http://www.aspkin.com/forums/ip-addr...super-hub.html ) however i dont have the netgear router he has used, instead i have a belkin 4 port non wireless router which was supplied with an ethernet cable.
i am operating from my macbook air for reference. which has no ethernet cable connection however i have a usb to ethernet cable if need be.
my steps were as his guide
1. log into vm superhub (successful)
2. change the vm router into modem mode (successfull)
3. use a Cat5/6 patch cable to connect the Hub to the router (the cat5 input closest to the fiber optics input). (successfull)
4. Then set up your router like you would a normal router with a modem attached, instructions should be in with the router. (unsuccessfull)
at this point i have no connection with the internet at all. im definiteley missing something out but i cant think what it is for the life of me.
im thinking maybe it might be because the router i have bought isnt a wireless one? even though i can connect it to my virgin media hub via an ethernet cable.
or
because i can not install the router even with the 'alternate set up method' as set out here on page 22.

i will try out your method and let you know if i am successfull.
i appreciate all the help and guidance,
kid regards
