all this lot sounds suspiciously familiar.
I too originally had a working LAN with a W2K machine talking to this
Mandrake box using Samba.
Then along came the hard disc failure & rebuild from CD backups.
I used a Mandrake re-install to alter my disk partitioning,and CAREFULLY
put back qmail,KDE_2_1 et. al.

ping localhost OK
ping anywhere else NO!
If I re-boot into W2K the LAN comes up OK - so hardware works
same addr & irq on both W2K amd linux.
ping anywhere on my sub-net seems to transmit (packet count goes up) but
no replies come in.
ping outside my sub net produces can't connect.
ping from W2K machine to linux host IP gives packet loss.
cat /proj/interrupt does not show anything on LAN irq (assume irq is used to
catch incoming packets)
modprobe will not successfully install ne driver with `wrong' addres or irq
so LINUX thinks the driver is working & so does the net transport system.
All this looks like some kind of misguided security measure that is
sodding up the LAN at a level below ping -- has anyone got
any ideas? it would be nice to get SMB back - getting tired
of trolling up & down stairs with zip discs !
