I can suggest to check some simple things.. what is the output
of /sbin/ifconfig and /sbin/route (you don't have to be root to get
this)
when the network is not working properly?
As root, does tcpdump show any traffic if you run it on your machine
and ping
your machine from another?

Ok Thanks. Here is the output ifconfig and route.
$ ./ifconfig

$ ./route

And I could not ping but I try to activate the nic through
network-configuration and here is what I got.
$ ./tcpdump

I'm not sure what all this means(well other than it's not working) but
if someone has ideas I would appreciate it.
Thanks Law
