Can anyone help?

I've got Virgin cable with a hard wired modem currently attached to my main home PC. Internet access is fine via this.

I was sent a free Virgin Media wireless router - WGR614 and have been trying to connect this up so I can use my laptop (Vista o/s) to access the internet.

I've connected the yellow cable from the Internet port on the wireless router to the cable router and there are two constant green lights on the wireless router - power and wireless.

Th laptop can see the wireless router and connect to it successfully but only gives 'local only' access - no internet access. When I ask Windows to diagnose the issue it says that there is a DNS problem.

Where am I going wrong? / any ideas how to resolve?...
