I presume Ethernet card installation replicated TCP/IP Properties used
for Dial Up Networking, as entries are same. Does "assign ('static')
addresses" mean "Specify an IP address" in IP Address, TCP/IP Properties
for Ethernet card, Network? Use addresses from ipconfig command? What
check to see if this enables network?

"Use DHCP for WINS Resolution" checked. NetBIOS enable option greyed.
