Please provide your router make/model or a link to the configuration setup document from the manufacturer.

OK, I'm back on the case this morning and having trouble implementing

OK, mine is the same. (Obviously not coincidence; are they all
identical?)

Yes, unless changed by the user/administrator.

It appears you have set the network incorrectly because your DNS is the same as the
gateway. The DNS Servers should be the that of your ISP's servers.
Is your router set to enable DHCP?

I believe so, yes.

If I open my Prestige LAN Configurator then I get this in my browser:

Under Advanced Setup, LAN I get this:

Not related to the info you provided, the DHCP
enabled in your info is for your NIC, not the router.

Sorry, don't really follow. NIC? Do I need to alter something? My BT
Broadband connection is working fine.

DHCP must be enabled in the routers setup configuration.

From above, does it look OK?

WINS proxy should be: Enabled = NO. Actually change this first (on both machines
if needed) and see if it resolves the issue.

That's what has me stumped! How do I do that please? I see no option
to change 'WIN proxy'.FWIW, under the WINS tab I have this:
