Hi All, I have setup redhat 7.1 linux in my PC. I have a direct connection to the Internet. I am using a 3-com ethernet card. Linux is recognizing the card. But I am not able to ping any machine. I am able to ping my own machine (loopback works..). I have setup a gateway, netmask etc. Still I am not able to connect or ping. Help needed. Any suggestions???? Subu.. -------------------
