Hi,
Definitely your netcard is not properly configured on Linux.
Are you using DHCP or fixed IP-s?
Do you have an other netcard in your linx box?
Check hostname and IP addresses.

Subject: [newbie] local lan problem
Trying to setup a linux machine as a firewall and web server on a lan for a
friend of mine. He also wants the linux machine to handle IP masqing.
Installed LM7.1 on a HP Vectra series 5 machine that he had purchased off
the internet to use specifically for Linux. We then put a realtek 8029 PCI
network card in, installed LM7.1 and all appeared to be good in the world,
until....
Trying to access anything on the local net is impossible. 100% packet loss,
etc, etc. Currently on the lan there are two other machines both running
windows 98 and then the LM7.1 machine. Both of the windows machines can see
and talk to each other fine but they cant see the linux box.
I double and triple checked all the system settings and everything seemed to
be fine. Drakconf detected the network card, linuxconf showed that all the
values i had entered for IP Addy, netmask, etc were fine.
Thinking this might have been caused by a bad cable we tried three other
cables with no results and also tried every free spot on the hub with a
known good cable from one of the windows machines just to make sure that
there wasnt a bad connection or something in the hub.
During bootup it shows that eth0 is starting up ok and ifconfig reports that
everything seems to be there and working fine as far as i can tell.
I am completely lost at what to do to fix this problem and would appreciate
any and all advice.
One thing i did notice was that when the cable was unplugged from the
network card in the linux box or the hub the light on the card showing that
the network connection was present went off as you would expect it to. When
we plugged the cable back into the hub or the card it returned just like
everything was working normally. On the hub side the light never did come on
showing that there was a connection.
The hub is listed as being *nix compatable and I am using a similar realtek
8029 card in another linux machine at my own home with no problems.
Linux machine info in case this helps...
HP Vectra Series 5
P133 CPU
16M RAM
2.5Gig HD
Realtek 8029
SB AWE16
Generic noname (as far as i can find) SVGA video card
Fresh install of Linux Mandrake 7.1
Many thanks in advance,
