default gateway 80.7.X.X
Only other thing I can find is
PPP adapter which just has 44-45-53-X-X-X as the Adapter Address.
This looks to me as if the ethernet card is not installed properly. I have got another card which I'll pop in and see how things look then. Any other ideas?

sounds like you've hit the nail on the head...on the win98se desktop machine, when you run winipcfg, if the ethernet card is correctly installed it will be listed in the drop down box....
if it is listed in the device manager... it may be worth check the network settings in the control panel...have a look to see if it has tcp/ip bound to it...
