In Control Panel/Network Connections, the Local Area Network is

as 'Connected'. There are no yellow asterisks in Device Manager, so
all devices seem to be working correctly.

But going to the network router settings, under Router Status/ADSL
Port, the IP Address field is blank. According to the notes down
the
right hand side, this means that there is NO internet connection.

When I click on the "Connection Status" box, it shows:
Connecting to Server 'Disconnect'
Negotiation "LCP is allowed to come up'
Clicking on the 'Connect' box at the bottom makes no change to this.

Typing ipconfig/all in a Dos window produces the following:
