A little more on this, because now I am really stumped. I have taken known good source, and moved it via CD to this machine. I rebuilt, and it exhibits exactly the same behavior, with both my kernel, and GENERIC. Pinging an IP on my lan results in ping: sendto: host is down. There are no active firewalls on this machine. When I ping another IP on the network, activity happens on the switch. I have swapped NIC's to a known working one from another machine, and it behaves identically. I have changed ports on the switch. About the only thing I haven't done is reinstall (which reminds me, I have a Freesbie disc around here somewhere to try) - but I'd rather that was a last resort. Meaning I'm open to any suggestions anyone might have about this.
