My guess is that you have a "custom" setup on your router. It worked with Windows because you are used to it. You have not been able to get your iMac to work with the same setup because you are not familiar with MacOS X.
I have two suggestions. You may accept one of them: - Explain how you have your network setup. Perhaps, someone here can then help you to properly configure your iMac within your setup. Or,
- Restore your router's default settings. A Mac will "just work" with just about any new out-of-the-box router. When you have everything working, then add your customizations.

Sorry for the confusion. I should have said: "I have
normally no problems at all downloading files of any size from the net using the XP Machines,
but cannot even access the Internet from them after trying to download from the iMac."
Also, I'm not sophisticated enough to create any sort of custom config for my router (
). The only thing I did was set up WEP. Everything else is factory.
