NO! DO NOT plug anything into the ethernet port of the Virgin Media modem!

Nothing at all. As I said before, connect the surfboard to the PC and the PC to the router. That's it.

You can do it that way, but it means you have no direct control over the Virgin modem initially (neither of you will get internet access until the Belkin router is up and running)

I'm doing my best to help. However, "It won't find the modem" is a useless sentence. I don't understand what you mean by that.
First of all, ignore the Belkin router completely. Plug the Virgin Surtfboard modem into your PC using the NETWORK cable. Check that this works. If it doesn't (for whatever reason) you will have to plug it into your PC via USB. Assuming that it does work, make a note of its default homepage (Look in the manual for it if you don't knw what it is)
Once you've established that, hook it up to the Belkin router instead, then connect your PC to the Belkin router via the network cable. Try accessing the same address. This should work, regardless of whether you've run the setup wizard. If it doesn't, then there may be a fault with the Belkin router. If this is the case, look at the Belkin router and say which lights are on, which are off and if any are flashing. Say what symbol or writing is underneath these lights.

Connect everything as I said before. Connect the modem to your PC over USB, then connect the router to your PC with the network cable. Go to the router's home page and then we'll start from there.
Note: The router's home page is an offline web page. You will not need to be connected to the internet to access it.

So that all works?
Note: Belkin.com is not the router's home page. You're looking at either 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1

No, you have it hooked up right. Go to the addresses I listed above. One of them should ask you for a username and password. Use the details that the manual tells you to.

yes, just type 192.168.1.1 into internet explorer and go 'go'. if nothing comes up, try 192.168.0.1. If you still get nothing, look in the router's manual. That will tell you what the homepage is.

Your PC is connected to the router? Go to start->run Network connections
go to local area connection and see if you've been given an IP address.
