configuration of the ethernet card. Running ifconfig shows me that everthing
is there but instead of <full duplex>, it says <hw-loopback>.

David, it sounds like you simply don't have a gateway route assigned to the
system. Try running netstat -ran and see if you show a default route in your
routing table.
