I wonder if the problem is the "auto eth1" line at the end of interfaces -
do you have to reboot after making that change?
    

Yes if you modified it by hand (actually you don't need a reboot, you need
to restart the networking, but a reboot would achieve that).  Would you not
just try rebooting and see what happens though rather than asking us?
Well, I figured that rebooting obviously would work but that it would have been a colossal waste of time if it wasn't necessary (especially since Edubuntu boots can sometimes take more than five minutes right now). In any case, I since discovered that I can restart the network configurations within the session using 
sudo /etc/init.d/network restart

To be honest, we're going around in circles here.  If I were you, I'd
strongly consider a fresh install as you've apparently modified a fair bit.
That is a serious thought.
You can do it with the standard edubuntu install CD, as the re-partitioning
is already done.
Actually, that's a problem as Wubi doesn't create a physical partition ("This is a real installation, the only difference is that Ubuntu is installed within a file as opposed to being installed within its own partition" - see http://wubi-installer.org/faq.php). Of course, I could uninstall Wubi from within Windows (and start again with another Wubi "session"), but I'd prefer not if possible.
  Try and get one thing working at a time (eg, first thin
clients, then internet, then routing, etc.) and keep track of what changes
you make.  I would also suggest running pppoe on a dedicated interface or
better still get a DSL modem/router to do it.
It turns out that my DSL modem (Thomson SpeedTouch 516v6) is also a router. How would I configure it to do the job?
With thanks,
David
