Unlikely to be related, imo.

Have you previously manually set a DNS server or proxy server?

What DNS server are you using - go to DOS/Cmd prompt and type "ipconfig /all". This should show the DNS servers currently in use. The main NTL server is 194.168.4.100.

If that is OK, is there a difference between :
ping www.bbc.co.uk
and
ping 212.58.224.35

If that works, try typing
telnet www.bbc.co.uk 80
This will bypass any proxy servers.

Enough to go on with for now. (Above assumes running XP!)
