It didn't have built-in Ethernet so I put in an old 3Com Etherlink III ISA card into the remaining ISA slot. I can get an address via DHCP from my router, but I can't ping the router. I can ping 127.0.0.1, and the IP address the machine was assigned. The ifconfig and netstat -r look OK, I have addresses on my net going to ep0 and a default route out via the router. I'm puzzled that DHCP works but nothing else. I configured the card using sysinstall but I can manually configure the card with a valid address and routing info, with the same result. I'm not sure how to test further from here. Can someone tell me what I might try next? I was considering replacing the network card, but since I can DHCP the card does appear to work.
