Could well be. You say that it works fine under another OS? What other OS? What, also, is the make/model of the NIC? Check ifconfig and compare the media line to the actual capibilities of the system. If it's not negiotiating properly (could a driver cause that?) you might be able to get

Yeah, this is a classic example of ipfw enabled but not configured. Since the default rule is 'Deny all', you need to add allow statements to the config to see the network, or build a non-ipfw config (Being the internal box, you have no need for ipfw on it) --Adam Nope. Kernel compiled
