I recently re-installed a Castle Net20/21 (not sure which it is)

Anway, this time I discovered that all the problems went away if
I ran BootResources:Configure.!InetSetup.AutoSense.FindEtherY
manually, so I have inserted a line in SetUpNet (in PreDesk)
to run it at boot.

Whatch out, as this will be overwritten anytime you make a change to
the Internet section of !Configure (!InetSetup).

But this puzzles me - I thought this AutoSense file was only
needed at set-up and, if not, why wasn't it being run?

It should only be needed by !InetSetup to set up system variables
which describe the interface and any softloaded driver module
required. !InetSetup then uses this to create appropriate commands
to load the module and configure the interface which it places in
!Boot.Choices.Internet.Startup.

Try moving the existing Startup file else where, running !Configure to
set up the interface again. Compare the old and new Startup files, and
if nothing obvious appears, please post the contents here, along with
the result of the following command when !InetSetup has been run:-

*Show InetSetup$*
