Thanks Kingsly, and others. You hit the head on the nail..... no I mean the other way round ;-)
We've a local network made up of about 15 machines and this machine 192.168.0.1 was being used as the internet gateway, so I mistakenly gave its address as the gateway on all machines (including itself!). I removed it like you said and the whole problem was solved. Thanks once again.
