Hi Breno, First of all, thank you for spending time on my problem.

The NIC is compiled in the kernel (it is not a module on my configuration). I use smsc911x drivers. > I also noticed something weird.

After I had posted the message, I decided to read with wireshark the network activity. I was surprised to see my ping (that does not work) with a 0.0.0.0 source address. Moreover, someone ask me if I try to perform ifconfig eth0 down ifconfig lo down before trying to change the IP address. And then "up". In fact to change the IP address in a clean way. Yes I tried that, but it changed nothing. It is still not possible to reach another machine that are not in my local network.
