Thanx anyway mate, but I think I have sorted it.

Through trial and error, I suspected the network card, even though it works fine on another installation of windows, and windows installed it fine. I removed it, reinstalled windows, and used my ethernet-to-USB adaptor NTL so graciously sent to me, and it worked... First thing tomorrow, new network card, me thinks.

Thanx anyway guys
