For anyone else that has issues like this:

I've solved it now, it was something SO simple but overlooked. It was something to do with the connection to the DSL or the router itself.. so those of you with a router:

1) Try d/c the router from the wall and plug it back in first.
2) If that fails (mine did) then reset router to factory settings and start again, but make sure that remember all your details!
3) If you dont want to/can't rebuild your router then try leave the router off overnight, apparently (according to Netgear here) there is some type of static that builds up in the router, and sometimes leaving it over night can fix any problems???

Thanks,
