I understand your frustration. I didn't have network on my old computer
for a while.

Therefore
no repositories and links to http sites. Anyway, I have bypassed the
ethernet card in case it wasn't working properly

Is that likely? When's the last time you used it successfully? I would
expect this to work better than connecting to the modem directly. If
you think the ethernet card is working, use it instead of USB.

Is this the magic of open source?

Free/open source software is about freedom, not any particular
technological advantage. However, you should be able to get your
ethernet working.

Unfortunately the "eth0" and network configuration tools and commands to
ping various DNS, gateway and IP addresses all indicate that the network
connection is fine

Could you be more precise? Can you post the output from:

ifconfig

ping -c4 google.com

, but there is a "problem finding a page" or connecting
with a server when you open a browser.

I take it you're using Firefox?

The configuration setup application says it can't find any "concentrator"
activity on my ISP.

What configuration utility is this, and what is the entire error message?
