    starts up then, Start, Run, type sfc /scannow

    I am 99% sure it's not the router as I have reset it a few times and if that was the case I would expect the other pc to behave in the same way.

    I have just uninstalled Mcafee, again to no affect...

    This might be way out - but check your Hosts file... nothing's in there stopping access to certain IPs, is there?

    I have tried that and get the same problem. Incidentally I can open google.co.uk anyway. But if I ping BBC.CO.UK I get a reply 212.58.224.131. If I then type this into browser it won't connect just sits there

    See if you can browse this BBC IP 212.58.224.114
