Hi Paul,
Thanks for your suggestions. I tried Device Manager and the Ethernet
Controller and Network Controller both had a yellow question mark
alongside. So I put the Windows XP CD in and used the Hardware Wizard
to update the driver but I got the message that it "Could not find the
necessary software".
In the Network Connections panel there are two connections showing:
1. One says Connecting through WAN Miniport (PPPoE). When I click on
it I get a message that Error 769 : The specified destination is not
reachable. If I double click the get the LAN Connection Status>Support
there is no IP address listed.
2. The second connection shows LAN or High Speed Internet 1394
connection.
On my stand alone PC this panel shows Local Area Connection Connected,
VIA PCI 10/100Mb fast Ethernet.
Any clues as to what needs tweaking?

Make sure the first four sections (octets) are the same as the other
two machines. Try to 'Ping' between the machines. It's easy, try
Google.
To check if the drivers are the problem right click on 'My Computer'
select 'Manage'. When this opens look down the list on the left for
'Device Manager'. You are looking for a warning beside 'Network
Adapters'.
Good luck
Paul
