Bought a new router in the end. I'm not sure whether this was needed
because the old one was faulty or I'd spent so long messing about with
it that settings were wrong and I just couldn't see wood for trees. As
far as I can tell, this could be caused by DNS servers not working
properly or Path MTU settings getting screwed up. Router settings (as
copied from Orange support site in case you can't access it) are:

advanced settings

server settings

The address of the Orange POP mail server is: pop.orangehome.co.uk
The address of the Orange SMTP mail server is: smtp.orangehome.co.uk
Do not use secure password authentication to access mail

IP address

Your IP address is allocated dynamically via DHCP- you do not need to
set this. We are unable to offer a static IP address.

DNS

Domain name service is dynamic - but if domain name server (DNS)
addresses are required, you should use:

195.92.195.94 and 195.92.195.95

Or, if you experience problems with the above, use:

193.36.79.101 and 193.36.79.100

dial up FTP and HTTP proxy settings

Address:http://www-cache.orangehome.co.uk:8080
Port Number: 8080

router settings

If you choose to use an Ethernet modem / router, the correct
connection settings are:

encapsulation:

PPP over ATM

multiplexing method:

VC-Based

virtual circuit:

VPI=0
VCI=38

modulation:

Multi mode

authentication:

CHAP

Cheers,
Mark
