Nope....it's like there's not even any network stuff installed, even though I know there is and it was working fine.

Can you ping to 212.58.226.232 from a command line. If you can ping to this, but not the BBC, then it's a DNS resolver issue.
I know that with some installs of XP, it's taken a while for the IP address to renew. Are you also saying you can't see the NIC in your network connections? If that's the case, the driver isn't installed for the NIC. Make sure you have the correct chipset drivers (normally inc Ethernet drivers) installed.

Huddy, I can't even ping the router. It's like there are no network connections even available but I know they're there and all drivers are installed and working fine.

I think I've had this before but my memory is as crap as ever. Just go through the process of deleting all network settings & then manually putting them in yourself. I know it looks like it's done but only deleting & redoing it manually works.
Now don't go running off trying that just think about it for a mo as like i said my memory is crap.

But under Network Connection there is nothing showing in the control panel, so I can't even put settings in manually.

Ok I know you are not stupid so forgive me if I'm throwing basics at you but have you checked the drivers in device panel. Have you tried running network connection wizard.
Are the link lights On on the NIC? Install SP2 anyway.

Yes mate, been through all of that. It's just really strange that it was all working fine one minute, then just stopped.

I can't help thinking it's a dodgy NIC and/or bad NIC driver. See if you can grab the latest driver for the NIC and retry. The fact you can ping to local host suggest there's nothing wrong with the TCP/Ip installtion on your machine. PnP should pickup the NIC as soon as it's installed. If both LEDs are on, then it must be the drivers.
What NIC/Mobo/Laptop is it? Have you tied connecting to internet with the Router?

Still installing SP2 now so not trying anything else right now.
If this doesn't work, I'll try and reinstall drivers. It's some Compaq latop, not looked at the specifics yet.
