SOLVED !!!! tried it on a set up without the router and it worked fine. I couldn't see anything on the PC that would stop the internet traffic, nothing on the router either (even gave it a fixed IP on the router) No idea what caused this, but its gone away now. Thanks for all of your responses !

ok will try that, the PC itself has an onboard LAN and there was also a card with it. I was using the PCI lan as I had the driver and tried it as soon as I had XP installed, prior to ANYTHING else being installed. Previously I tried using the onboard LAN but got the same results. I've tried it...
