Don't worry about making me sound stupid, I'm glad I asked you for and idiots guide!

I could kick myself, I was convinced I had the WLAN switched on as the Wireless Indicator light was showing dark blue...

However, RTFM - there are four states for the WLAN:

Lights green - The wireless LAN function is activated
Lights blue - The Bluetooth function is activated.
Lights light blue - Wireless LAN and Bluetooth functions are both activated.
Lights off - Wireless and Bluetooth both disabled

So basically I'd just enable bluetooth, not the WLAN - on setting it to light blue and using the Win2k driver, the card's working really well.

I hope this post will help all of the other people who have been struggling with it the same as I have.

Thanks so much for all of your help.
