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
