put finger to keyboard and composed:

You need to determine which PHY chip you have (Intel 82562EZ or
Marvell Yukon)

ok, can you tell me how to do that?

Look for an Intel chip in a 15mm x 15mm package. The part number
should be something like "82562EZ". Otherwise look for a different
chip labelled "Marvell Yukon" with an 88Exxxx part number.

Depending on which chip you have, install the appropriate driver. You
should be able to obtain both drivers from Intel's web site.

Otherwise these drivers from Marvell's web site may work:
http://www.marvell.com/drivers/search.do

If you really can't visually identify your LAN chip, then follow
Microsoft's procedure for identifying unknown PCI devices by
consulting your registry (see my other post). Then post the Vendor and
Device IDs here. Intel's vendor ID is 8086, Marvell's appears to be
1148.

Still another solution is to run Everest Home Edition and allow it to
identify your hardware.

and you may need to install Intel's Chipset Software
Installation Utility, as stated elsewhere in this thread:

http://www.intel.com/support/chipsets/inf/sb/CS-009270.htm

ok, i'm just more confused now - which do i download from this page?

Intel 910GL Express Chipset
Intel 915G Express Chipset
Intel 915GL Express Chipset
Intel 915GV Express Chipset
Intel 915P Express Chipset
Intel 915PL Express Chipset

None of them match exactly!! :(

Apologies if I'm being super-thick..

This is the package I ended up with:
