I'm afraid I'm not going to be able to give a solution. I can just agree that with my Netgear router (can't remember the model number) if I try and hit the BBC Weather site when connected with wireless, the connection dies. If I'm connected with a wire, or I piggy back off my neighbour's Linksys router (!), then all is fine. If I'm wireless and VPN into work's network and use their internet connection then it works as well. It must be something to do with the Netgear.

I tried various settings around the SSID, WEP, WPA etc, but to no avail.
