I can't ping anything on my network

Hi, I've recently installed Mandrake 9.1.I used netwrok connection to go into internet (using a dsl router)

Everything was installed fine (i thought) but network didn't work I only can ping myself.

I've got an D-Link DFE538TX card using 8139too drivers (mandrake config detected it successfully) but i can't get out of my pc.

anybody can help me?

thanks

the gateway must be 192.168.0.1 'cause it's router address (internet)
thanks

Looks like it's unplugged, by the way absolutely no information (0 packets, 0 packets, 0 packets) have been recieved by the NIC.

I assume you can ping loopback (127.0.0.1) and I assume you can ping your ip (192.168.0.38). Can you ping the Gateway (192.168.0.1)? Are you reaching the Net through your machine or are you using some other machine to posts here? Is there a switch or hub between you and your network? If so you could have a bad port on Hub or Switch.

Yes,I can ping myself (loopback and my ip) but I canīt ping my router or others computers in my network.
I'm using a hub and it works fine 'cause I have windows2000 in the same computer and I can use the network with it.
I'm posting using the same computer but with windows2000

If you cannot ping 192.168.0.1 under linux whereas when the same machine it is possible I am almost sure it is a matter your own firewall.
post the result iptables -L and ipchains -L (I don't know which one is setup on Mandrake)

I don't know if this path everyone is following is the dead-blow solution, but the iptables probably does exist on your system. Did you run the above as root?

As root, execute 'iptables -L'.

Mandrake 9.1 is going to have kernel 2.4.x, implying iptables.
