Did that already over the weekend and also today. I try the pings when I've stopped SuSEfirewall2 and it behaves the same. I rejected everything that has to do with quick mode. There were two options, the first one regarding the overall firewall and one to particular services. I said no to all of them. However, there is something strange I noticed today. When I plug in a cable into the offending NIC, I notice that the LEDs showing n/w connectivity go on on the card side but on the router eth port the LED indicating link is off!!! Tried it with a straight through, crossover and also a rollover(don't laugh at this last one, I am trying everything to be sure) and it still behaves the same. When I reboot the machine, the LED on the router then goes on but on pinging, I still get the same response. Seeing this I put a switch in between the two. The switch sees both the router and the NIC fine but on ping, this time I got no response instead of the other network unreachable error. In this state, I accidentally left the ping command running and went to check out on someone and the router replied to only two pings out of 1002 ping(don't ask me the percentage it calculated. Its embarrasing), but that is the situation right now.
