Yep, there is, according to the SB2, another network in close
proximity, and it's a Linksys. Who's it is I haven't a clue but two
things I've noted. On XP the Belkin utility for the wireless card
showed that this network had 100% signal strength, whilst my own
network had 97%! Logging in to the Belkin router and looking at its
firewall log shows it's doing a DOS block on average every 3 seconds on
the same IP number. Now I wonder whether this IP (which is a 10.*.*.*
variety) and the Linksys network are one and the same?

MrC: When I tried using WPK it seemed to make things worse so I dropped
it back to WEP128. There is an entry in the Belkin router that is called
'protected' mode, when this was off I had the break-ups and stuttering.
When I turned it on everything went okay for about an hour until I
turned the SB2 off. Next day the troubles I'm having now occurred, and
the placements of the SB2 and router hadn't changed. At that point I
thought maybe the cordless telephone was to blame so I unplugged it but
the problem remained.

I'll try your suggestion of moving the SB2 to approx 5/10feet of the
router and with direct line of sight and see what happens, but it'll
have to wait for a while because I'm busy on other things at the
moment.
