In the bottom rigt hand corner there is a computer with a red cross over it, which says "local area connection 3, a network cable is unplugged". i bought a nic card yesterday from PCWORLD, fitted it, and wen setting up the router it just says there is no internet connection. Started to annoy me so i hav given up for today.

You need to go into your network connections folder and make sure the one that is reporting a lack of cable is actually the NIC you are using.
If it is, you have one of three issues.
1. Broken NIC
2. Damaged RJ45 cable
3. Screwy router

well when i am setting the router up, the power light, LAN light and the internet light are all green (they are on). After it restarts the network a message comes up saying that there is no internet connection. It is then telling me to check that the all cables are in properly, which they obviously are! It wont let me go any further from here.

Also mate, i dont think it is the NIC card cos when i plug the router into the mains, it says local area connection 3 connected and internet and LAN lights come on. All i have to do is get connected to the net!! Dont think its the cable either as i have about 3 of them. How will i know if the router is knackered?? Cheers

Is this a Virginmedia connection or are you on ADSL?

Right !
Here we go !
Make life easy for me and you.
Turn off PC, turn off Router and turn off modem..
Plugs off at wall !!
Connect Modem to router via the socket that's set off to the other four... should say Internet/Modem or something like that next to it.
So modem is connected to Router.
Now pick any of the other 4 and plug into PC.
Very Important:
Turn modem on..
Wait for cable light or online light depending on modem to go solid.
Now turn on Router !
and now PC.
Test internet after letting PC fully boot.
If not working..
Click start
Run and type CMD
In the command prompt that comes up
type IP config and see what your IP starts with..
It should be 192
If it is type ping 192.168.100.1 and see if you get a reply, if you do its a VM network issue and we need to look into this further...
If you dont try ping and the IP that came up assuming its a 192, if its a 169 we have a list of things to try !!
Let me know

Just spoke to someone on virginmedia and he says as the ethernet light on the modem isnt lit up, he reckons that we need a new modem. (should take 4-5days) hopefully this will work. Thanks for your help mate

I have to admit I only bought a netgear rangemax 300, a few people slated it but it was pretty easy to setup with a dvd etc and the signal is alway excellent 
my last computer shop recommended router died every 20 minutes
