Subject: Eth0 is timing out

I installed debian on a pentium 100 to be used as a firewall.
This is my third machine that I have attempted to turn into
firewalls. The first 2 were successful and work great. I am
having a problem with this third machine. I am using netgear
fx310tx network cards with the tulip network card driver. This
third machine has 3 PCI slots, 2 of the slots are occupied with
the 2 network cards and the other slot has a video card. I first
configured both cards (just as with the other machines). I can
only ping the static ip address that is configured to eth0. I can
not ping the gateway or any other address on the internet. The
error I get "eth0 timing out ... resetting eth0". Once this
message appears, ctrl-c gets me back to the prompt where the
error message keeps showing itself. Here are the troubleshooting
things I have done:
1 - swapped network cards (I have 9) to rule out the card
2 - removed 1 network card to see if I could get just one
working
3 - moved the 1 network card to the other open PCI slot (same
error)
4 - moved the video card to a different PCI slot and moved the
network card to where the video card was
5 - tried multiple straight and crossover ethernet cables
My configuration is as follows:
dsl-router --> firewall --> hub
I am stuck! Does anyone know what the error may be?
