Ok, If your using XP service pack 2, the built in firewall it can mess up the number of threads you can run. Hence, loads first page but rest will not. This usually happens with USB modems due to USB threading.
Disconnect from the BB and reconnect will reset this, but will still only allow first/second page , then nowt.
Only option at the moment, if this is the case, is a format and reinstall - sorry. :cry:
Turning off the M$ firewall with XP SP2 appears to have no effect on the problem.
Another option is to throw away the USB modem and get a modem Gateway router such as the Netgear DG834 (with hardware firewall), there is no threading problem then.
If using XP service pack 1
You can try turing off the M$ firewall and see what happens. Install a software firewall such as the free version of ZoneAlarm (much better that M$ as well).

You don't need an external IP (Static) for the Router. It will have it's own internal IP usually starting So can't see the problem using it. Just get the settings from Pipex's site.
They will be something like:
Protocol: PPPoA
VPI 0
VCI 38 (VPI/VCI is sometimes shown as 0/38)
Encapsulating Type: VC MUX
Modulation:
Your Username
Your Password
Authentication: PAP or CHAP
Primary DNS server:
Secondary DNS server:
