Guys,

I have the following setup at home

NTL Broadband - WRT54GL - Netgear Gigabit Switch - PC

I cannot access the internet through the PC, but i can access the router.

What settings should i set the PC to?

WRT54GL = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0

Thanks
 
If you can access the router but not the web it sounds like it's your default gateway OR your DNS settings. (ruling out all problems with the internet connection itself for the time being)

Settings should be as follows:
IP 192.168.1.2 upto 192.158.1.254 (or anything inbetween)
netmask/subnet 255.255.255.0
DNS Server: 192.168.1.1
Gateway / Default route: 192.168.1.1

Just out of interest..
What happens when you goto http://66.249.93.104
Do you get google? If so it's a DNS issue.

If not run a traceroute www.google.co.uk from the command prompt (windows start>run>cmd) or from a linux shell

You might need to check your routers connection settings, with VM it should all be set to dynamic or automatic. Have you tried plugging into your VM modem directly just to check the line?
