HardDrake tells me that I have a Realtek RTL-8139.
Hope this helps you to success.
That should work with 8139too module, try "insmod 8139too" if it isn't mentioned with "lsmod" in a terminal as su/root.
Check "dmesg" if it won't load for comments on it.
See my other post in the thread for my poorly remembered recollections of the output from dmesg.
I will check ifconfig, thanks for the suggestion.
If it is mentioned in the list you get with "lsmod" see what "ifconfig" gives i.e. if it's there as eth0 or eth1.
If not try getting it up with a static IP thus: "ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 up" and see what that gives.....i.e. try "ifconfig" again to see if it has appeared now.Hadn't thought of trying a static ip, i will try that on monday. Thanks again, appreciate the help and the offer of help.
If it has, you're in business;)
If not, come back and we'll take you step by step.
Good luck,

Another thing that I just remembered. When i start up, eth0 seems to fail if the cable is plugged in, but says OK if it isn't. Dont know if that tells you anything.
