Have you got the right network cable attached? If you've got a crossover cable in the mix somewhere you'll have problems.
If you use these settings on the router

If I change my settings on the router to Use Static IP Address, with the values:
IP Address 80.***.***.***
IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address 80.***.***.1

you'll have problems, the 80.xxxx number isnt a static ip, its the IP that VM give to your router when you connect, but you need to point it at the modem, which if my memory is working properly will be 192.168.0.1, subnet mask 255.255.255.0, gateway should also be 192.168.0.1.
Your best bet might be to reset the router, should be a button somewhere on it that you have to hold in for a few seconds. Then try connecting with the settings as it came out of the box.
