SOLVED: Checked my firewall settings Simon (I use McAfee) and there is an option to allow ICMPing requests. I checked this option and everything started to work. Thanks for your help and for pointing me in the direction of the firewall. I stupidly thought that if you disabled the firewall and it didn't help, then it couldn't be the firewall. Lesson learned.

Cheers, Bill.

I wasn't aware of this strange behaviour of McAfee. Thanks for letting me know and I'm glad all is well now.
