If you can't ping the numbered address (192.168.etc) then it is not a Join the
Domain kind of problem. It is a configuration problem with the NIC. You say
other computers so I am assuming that you have checked the "other computers"
against each other (Including the new NT install) and that they will ping and
answer each other. To me this means to check the linux box.
Pinging an address (not a name) has nothing to do with M$ Workgroups or Domains.
