Couple of ways, you can hold down the Windows key (between Ctrl and Alt,
left side) and press Pause/Break. Then go to Hardware, Device manager.
Look under Network adapters. See if there's ethernet listed. Or - look
on the back of the computer and see if there's a jack for what looks
like a phone line, but it's just a little wider and has eight conductors
instead of four.

In my device manager, under Network Adapters I see...

Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection
and...
1394 Net Adapter #5

Are either of these an ethernet card?

Yes, the Intel PRO/100 VE is the ethernet controller.
The 1394 refers to firewire with networking capability.
