Had a look in the BIOS and, from what I could see under the Peripheral
settings, "Onboard LAN" was Enabled so I guess it's not that...

Look for an Intel chip in a 15mm x 15mm package. The part number
should be something like "82562EZ". Otherwise look for a different
chip labelled "Marvell Yukon" with an 88Exxxx part number.
Depending on which chip you have, install the appropriate driver. You
should be able to obtain both drivers from Intel's web site.
If you really can't visually identify your LAN chip, then follow
Microsoft's procedure for identifying unknown PCI devices by
consulting your registry (see my other post). Then post the Vendor and
Device IDs here. Intel's vendor ID is 8086, Marvell's appears to be
1148.
Still another solution is to run Everest Home Edition and allow it to
identify your hardware.

See if something is sharing an IRQ with that ethernet adapter. Control
panel, system, device manager, view, resources (or something like that, from
memory). It normally shouldn't matter, but I suspect in this case, you
might have installed something that grabbed the IRQ number that the onboard
LAN is trying to use. -Dave

Hi Frank
Installed the Yukon drivers and, lo and behold, one working LAN connection!
Thanks a million mate!!
