Yes, this is an IP network.  The subnet in question is 10.2.0.0/16 and the IP 
settings are correct for the card.

You've confused me now though.  I can see mii-tool, and can confirm that if I 
disconnect the cable the output changes.

However, the ping problem confuses me.

I can ping myself 10.2.1.7) which tell me that the IP stack is working and 
that the card's been recognised right?

I don't know what the broadcast ping proves though, and when I try to ping a 
remote host, or from another box try to ping my laptop it doesn't work.  
Surely, this is still an IP related issue.

How do you mean check the config? If you mean the IP settings, they're correct 
and match all the other boxes I have.  I did statr off with dhcp enabled, but 
changed it to manual settings when that didn't work initially.

If you mean card settings, then I can't help as I don't have another box with 
a SIS900 card in.
