I am posting this as a thank you and follow-up;
With the history of the original thread.....
After trying it all once again I ended up swapping out an
old WD card from another machine and yes IT ALL started to work!!!
However swapping out the old vibra 16 sound card for an old
but trusty SB 32 AWE card saw the network go unreachable again,
which led me to the hint by civileme re: sound card IRQ.
Lucky for me the ISA WD NIC card had configurable jumpers
and a little tweak did the trick.

Thanks for the rapid response !!!
No firewall on this unit. Being on a small home network
with a firewal/server being in place I went for the
"welcome to crackers" configuration to try and KISS but
of course it fooled me !
