Okay, so part of my plan in dealing with this problem was to try the 5555 at my parents house because I just bought my dad (myself really, if you consider I bought it for him for me to use when I'm there) a new Netgear router.
I turned on my PPC and guess what?

Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Anyway, the iPaq got an ip direct from the DHCP on the router and connected to the internet in literally one second. I hardly know what to say right now, but it all works and it FLIES!
So I took the router, which I will now be using at home, and will get my dad (lol) a new one for his house and ditch the old USR modem. Apparently updated firmware wasn't enough, the router just isn't compatible!
Life is now officially good as I will be playing with my new toy for the rest of the weekend, hopelessly lost in the bliss of the only Pocket PC I thought I would never afford ;-)
As always, you guys are the best, and hopefully you share my sense of accomplishment right now! :clap: :clap: :clap:
