Hmm, I don't understand your problem exactly. Probably you just made
a silly mistake somewhere. This is what you should do:

1) At the start of your document, do

Insert -> Page numbering -> Page number text

and enter the following

M-e # (for roman numbering)
\ page-nr <return> (the page number)
<right> roman (for roman numbering)
<return> <return> <return> (activate everything)

2) Just before your first chapter title, do

Insert -> Page numbering -> Renumber this page

and give 1 <return> as the current page number.

3) Just behind that, restore the page numbering but by using
"arabic" instead of "roman" (or just omit the M-e # stuff).

On my example file, the table of contents looks like it should.

Best wishes, Joris
