aol cable dsl modem and wireless router

i cant get my wireless router to connect to the net, we have a cable dsl
modem with aol, and everything seems ok, but just can not connect to the web
through the wireless router, the only thing i can see is when i go run, cmd,
then get the info up for router and modem its says on the aol modem bit DHCP
not enabled, but when i go into network settings and click on the aol modem
everything is auto enabled, (ip add and dns)
we have tried everything, the phone help lines are useless
we have windows xp home, broadband aol
the wireless router is a belkin, aol said any router will work.
we only want to connect our nintendo ds wifi!!!!!
any help PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE ARE TEARING OUR HAIR OUT WITH THIS!!!!

Hi
What the Name and Model number of the DSL Modem is? It might be a
Modem/Router combo and you are trying to connect a second Router to an
existing Router. If it is so you need to connect the Belkin as an Access
Point.

Granted that AOL does things in non-standard ways, sometimes limiting
you more than you would be with non-AOL ISPs, but nevertheless, if you
post the make/model of your DSL modem and your Belkin router, describe
how things are physically connected now (when things work), and explain
exactly what it is you want to accomplish, you may be able to do it
regardless of what AOL says. And what do you mean by being "on virgin
media"?
