Cant ping gateway[solved]

[gnuageux]

Got a networking issue. I am able to start my network interface (net.eth0) without any errors. I am able to ping the interfaces ip, but not the gateway.

ifconfig eth0 shows the correct address, etc.
route -n shows the correct gw
/etc/conf.d/net settings look good.

lspci shows that my ethernet card is a 3com and lsmod shows the module 3c59x is loaded. When I boot from the livecd and chroot, everything works fine. lsmod in that environment shows the same modules in use, so I am kinda baffeled. Oh, I have checked physical link etc.

starting with the most obvious things to check....

kill firewall,
start killing apps one by one to see if any of them are the culprit,

do u have static or dynamic ip?

Greetings!

I had problem like this, it was in
3Com card <-> hub conflict. Link auto-negotiation
didn't work.

I was able to see packets going from interface
but couldn't send anything. Try to change hub/switch
or network card (8139c worked perfectly in my case).

Also, there is an option for 3com module, it forces
full-duplex. I didn't try it but may be it can help.

SY, Decha.

I have a static ip, no firewall. Connectivity from xp on the same box with similiar stack settings works okay. Ill try it tho.

Thats odd, I thought that the 8139c module was for RealTek cards?

Solved. When I compiled my kernel initially I used genkernel, I just recompiled as used genkernel all (which makes for a bloated kernel, but hey I can tweak that later) and now everything works. Thx for the help guys!
