But yes you can just connect an XBOX, PS3 or a Wii and get an IP and play online, a router will receive an IP but no one can use it unless they have a wireless device that can connect to the router in order to utilise that IP address.

That's not what I'm saying - I know that the router needs to get assigned a virgin media ip.
The problem I am finding is that the only way I can use the internet via pc->router->cable modem is when the pc itself somehow gets assigned the VM IP. (despite router set to act as dhcp server)
If I do the standard practice of turning off all 3 devices, and connecting 1-by-1 so that the PC gets assigned a local IP by the router, then I am unable to access the internet on the PC. How can I check on the router (using DD-WRT) if it has successfully been assigned a VM IP?
Do I need to manually configure the DNS relay or such on DD-WRT? I have tried putting 192.168.100.1 (modem ip) as default gateway + local dns but to no avail.. (if I reset router they default to 0.0.0.0)
Thanks for any further help..
