• Okay, what you've written seems to vary from system to system it seems.

That is entirely possible.

• What Roger posted in reply to my original message is indeed correct, that is 
to say if I use one of my other Windows 7 machines - either my Netbook or my HP 
Notebook following Roger's suggestions - I get both hardware and adapter 
settings for the adapter, in the case of the HP there are 15 different tabs 
running from left to right across the top of the screen for different 
category's.

Right; we have the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Ultimate installed. Possibly 
there are differences in configuration depending upon any of a number of 
factors:

• Variant of operating system; (X86 or I386)
• Variant in OS flavour; (Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional, Ultimate or 
Enterprise)
• Variants of hardware and drivers
There could be a lot of other things I haven't thought of which could influence 
this. However, on our Asus NetBook which is running Windows 7 Ultimate I386 and 
also on our Samsung notebook which is running Windows 7 Ultimate X86, (X86 
being the 64-bit version and I386 the 32-bit, as I understand it).

• Lynne's suggestion is correct as well, works on both my EEEPC and my HP 
Notebook but not on the new Windows 7-64 Desktop, adapter settings are not 
present in "Windows And Sharing" at all!

That is because I never said anything about Windows and Sharing. I said 
"Network & Sharing Centre". You go into that applet and then shift+Tab or click 
on the "Change Adapter Settings" link.

• I went into properties of the Network adapter as instructed by Roger and 
there - as with the HP - are a whole series of tabs from left to right across 
the top of the screen, 12 in all but none talk about setting up IP Addresses, 
now I'm awake I'll have another look to see if I can find out what's going on.

Again, that is different to ours.

• I wonder whether the manufacturer of Network adapter has a lot to do with 
this, for example I'm using the built-in Intel network adapter as came with my 
Mother Board, its got a whole heap of stuff listed in its properties I've never 
seen before such as "Master/slave" setup etc.

Highly likely.
