I tried the ICS Wizard, thanks.
My PC is listed in the manual as a 'LAN port (RJ-45)', so I called it that lol It has a symbol similar to this above it: https://broadband.hmfc1874.com/images/lan_symbol.gif
When I tried the Wizard, it seems my PC knows the ethernet cable is there, but the other computer (the GC) is disconnected. I've tried turning the Gamecube on, then off again... but the PC doesn't detect it.
I'm Windows XP Home Ed. - and there doesn't seem to be any symbols or speechbubble as you described coming up once my GC is turned on.
As for the GC itself, it knows the broadband adapter is attached, and tries connecting using the default settings. But, whether I try connecting via the lobby or the HL website, it says the 'please check if your cable is connected correctly' error.
So perhaps the problem is with the cable again! I will try another trip to GAME and get the first hook-up cable I talked about.
Though the Datel one I bought yesterday SHOULD have worked - on the front and back of the box it says:
- Perfect for online gaming
- Supports full 10 MBPS and 100 MBPS Ethernet Connectivity
- Connect your Xbox to Cable Modems DSL Modems and Networks
- Xbox Colorway
- 10 foot cable for easy link-up
- Simply Plug and Play
Oh, and a website link lol. Just found a better place for the description:

Now unless there is something very wrong with my new BBA, then I'm guessing I need to try another cable...
Thanks again for your advice Lee-yoshi^^ Can you see where else I might be going wrong?
