I am not very familiar with networks and firewalls. Guess my hunche
was wrong.

What I did was key in the "IP address" value and "default gateway"
values by hand into the TCP/IP properties window for my LAN adaptor.

For some reason, DHCP service will not run on my XP system even if I
try to start it manually. It says "Error 1068: The dependency
service or group failed to start".

In the dependencies tab I can see this tree structure:

--------START-----------
AFD Networking Support Environment

NetBT
   SYMTDI
      TCP/IP Protocol Driver
         IPSEC Driver
   TCP/IP Protocol Driver
      IPSEC Driver

SYMTDI
   TCP/IP Protocol Driver
      IPSEC Driver

TCP/IP Protocol Driver
   IPSEC Driver
----------END-------------

I assume that DHCP needs to be running to get my system working
properly again for when the IP address next gets changes by the
network.

In actual fact, even after keying the IP addresses by hand and
rebooting it didn't work. I then ran the Network Setup Wizard in
Network Connections and this seemed to get something to work.

Sounds like it is to do with DHCP? Or not? Hey, I'm getting lost.
Any further info would be appreciated.
