This sounds like a problem I once had. Try pinging the box from the gateway. Your card may need a wake up call. I once had an Intel EtherExpress 16. Whenever I booted that compu, it needed a ping to start working... Rogier Maas the webster wrote:

It sounds like you don't have the gateway pointing towards the "gateway for the world" if this is not the case then you need to see if you can ping a I.P. address. are you trying ping www.yahoo.com and getting nothing?? try ping 204.71.200.74 (yahoo) and see if you get out.. if so then you might need the dns info put into the /etc/resolv.conf file nameserver 11.11.11.11 (your isp dns server) you can find this from any windows box by going to <start><run> and type winipcfg the dns info will be there.
I cannot ping anything! :/ I cant get "outside" the box at all. I was thinking do I have to make any alterations in the box because it should be in a masquerading network ? There shouldt be because it works just fine in windows. Or do I ? Or maybe in the gateway ? Because traceroute and ping does not work with dns'es or ips.
