Just looking at ifconfig. Yes, got to that stage, Mark, but I haven't got any physical connection between the two machines, so can't copy and paste. I know it's very difficult doing this from a distance, but can you tell me what I'm looking for (or rather what YOU'RE looking for)?

Hi, sure no problem.
ifconfig prints out the status of all of the available network interfaces. You're looking for the section that starts with "en0:". That's the ethernet jack.
What I'm interested in is the line that starts with "media:" including the "status:" field.
An example of what is should look like is below:
en0: flags=8863<UP,BROADCAST,SMART,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULT ICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.50 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
ether 00:0d:93:31:08:e8
media: autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: none autoselect 10baseT/UTP <half-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 100baseTX <half-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex> 1000baseT <full-duplex,hw-loopback> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control> 1000baseT <full-duplex,flow-control,hw-loopback>
