That was my instinct as well! I have turned off the Windows XP SP2 firewall and do not have any other firewall software installed (at least as far as I know). I have also checked my Netgear router config and made sure that there were no ports blocked or port-forwarding enabled. The only device I am not sure about is the NTL modem.

BTW, have also ran spyware and trojan software just to be sure - all came out clean (bar some tracking cookies).

I'll have another check, though. It definitely has all the hallmarks of a firewall problem...
