Switch Daisy Chain (No Internet)

I have the attached network topology. I have an issue daisy-chaining two NETGEAR switches; I cannot get any internet in my office. Internet on other devices attached to the GS105 seem fine.

Any ideas as to what the issue could be?
  • Or even 

    virgin modem-------google router-------gs105------skyq

                                                                    |

                                                                    |

                                                                 GS105

     

    Reason why is the virgin hub in modem mode only gives out 1 public ip address. The router uses that and then assigns multiple private ip addresses to specific devices. So in modem only mode, it needs to go modem------router----switch/devices.

    Try running it like this:

    virgin modem-------->google wifi------->skyq/etc

                                         |

                                         |

                                    GS105-------------->gs105
