Update - I'm not sure whether I have made progress or not, but I am able to ping and access machines on my network. All the machines are connected to a Netgear 10/100/1000 switch which in turn is connected to a wireless/wired linksys router, which is running as a DHCP. I am unable to ping the router or access the internet.
How do I troubleshoot this situation? In response to the previous responses, I noticed that my var/adm/messages had a report that auto-negotiation failed and I used the recommended solution by adding the following line to nfo.conf "nfo-duplex="Full" nfo-speed=100" (I have problems setting this to 1000). Is there a way to see why 1000 does not work? I get 1Gbps with XP no problem on the same conenction. I guess I don't need internet access for a local file server, but it would make it easier to update the system and for remote admin. I would appreciate any suggestions for eventual trimming and modifying the system as file server in terms of services and network settings.
