I have resolved my problem. Updating the driver in Device Manager with the Broadcom Gigabit driver 57xx I obtained from the Broadcom website loaded in all the drivers for the ethernet chipset. Seamless operation. The Dell files do not work and are a big waste of time.
So, I gather from this that it is necessary to install all the drivers in order? The rest of the machine is working correctly and I haven't had to reinstall the OS (which I don't have anyway).

I have two Dell D620, and I installed Windows XP SP2 from scratch on both of them. The Ethernet driver from Dell's website is what I used. No problems whatsoever.
