When I finally obtained a connection after a delay of a few minutes (somewhere between 3 to 5, I'd estimate), I got : IP address: 80.2.199.86. At the same time, I got references to DHCP Server, DNS Server and various others. Is it worthwhile me phoning the ntl Tech Support and seeing what they have to say?

well if you phoned them and came through to me i would suggest to you that it is your firewall causing the problem.
try restarting the computer in safe mode with networking and see if it then picks up the ip address immediately on startup
