In the general tab, I've left things as "Obtain an IP address
automatically" - this works on the old laptop but not the new one. So, I've
entered details on the "Alternate Configuration" tab. I've given a static IP
address (192.168.0.32), subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and I've entered the
gateway IP addy of my router (10.0.0.2). I've also entered 217.32.105.90 qnd
91 for DNS servers. This apparently lets me connect with an excellent
connection but I still can't access anything n the Internet.

In XP you should not be able to set both DHCP and Static Address, if using DHCP when you go to Advance Tab you should not be given the option to add a Static address.
Try resetting the Internet Protocol.
Start->Run->cmd netsh int ip reset c:\resetlog.txt

If this doesn't work try checking your "Winsock2"
