I managed to get someone else on saturday who sounded like he knew what he was talking about - again went through some stuff. He thinks I have more than one firewall on my PC (I don't) or something stopping him from pinging my PC (which had obtained a valid IP address) buy that doesn't explain why I get problems connecting using e.g. PSP or PS3 does it?

Anyways, thanks for your responses!
