Cannot Connect with sky Netgear DG834DT v1 after being flashed

I have a SKY Netgear which I have flashed using Netgear Firmware and the Recovery Utility. All went well my laptop internet router reads it as NETGEAR. I have set up in http://192.168.0.1 log into it by admin and password. Entered username and password, done the encapsulation, clicked on Get Dynamically from ISP, Clicked on Get Automatically from ISP. Put in Micro-filter ADSL2.
But I get an error on internet bars on bottom panel, its got Yellow square with exlamation mark. Its say No internet access.
Please help?

Sky have some customisation with their routers so flashing with normal Netgear firmware may muck this up.

there should be a log within the router of it trying to connect, can you copy and past the contents of that?

Sorry, I didn't realise you were trying to connect to Plusnet.  Yes this should be OK.
See settings here -

These are the settings you'll need to connect to our broadband service with a compatible router.

hi please see the attachments for the logs on the router, its like the DNS is not providing the router with an IP address

It is not a DNS issue as you are not connected to the internet.  Please check all the settings in my previous post.
Here are my settings.  I do not have the same router as you but the settings are almost the same.

ok so that means that you have a connection to the internet, so it looks like your username and password could be wrong.
make sure it's <username>@plusdsl.net and check your password.
