Start checking the cables: office patch, patch panel, etc. If you connect
another computer to the jack, can you see the network? Also, make sure the
connector is firmly attached to the jack. I have overlooked the basics in
the past. You have checked what could be configuration, check what could
be related to the physical layer.

Subject: [expert] Net uncreachable
Question for you all (I'm new to this list, so forgive if this isn't the
usual format or question style)
I just installed Mandrake on a box at our office. Install went
beautifully. After install, I verified the network settings (Gateway,
netmask, IP, name servers, ect...)
Everything looks exactly the same as it does on other linux boxes (except
for IP, of course). But everytime I try to ping ANYTHING, I get an error,
network is unreachable.
The nic is configured and the module is loaded. ifconfig shows eth0 up
(3c59x module for anyone who cares. Card is 3C905C-TX).
Anyone got any ideas? I've checked and rechecked. Nothing. Network
unreachable sounds like a config problem to me, but I cann't think of what
else to check. I know the settings were wrong on install (my fat fingers
entered 209 as the first octet vs 206 which it should have been) but I
corrected it everywhere I could find in Linuxconf.
I am very lost here. Any help is appreciated!
