You should be able to ping it on=20 both the loop back 127.0.0.1 and the 192.168.1.128 address.

If you have only one of these statements,= =20 I would bring down the interface and bring it up manually until you find=20 the correct settings. For instance you may need to set the line speed 1t=20 10 MBs, or 100 MBs or 1000 Mbs, or set the duplex setting. Oh and check=20 the LED's on your ethernet interface and router and hub/switches to be sure= =20 you didn't knock a cable loose. -Derek At 12:50 PM 1/20/2006, Alvaro J.
