Run these diagnostic checks: 1. "ifconfig" -- see if it reports your eth0 interface as set up with IP address 192.168.1.200, and appropriate netmask and broadcast address (probably 255.255.255.0 and 192.168.1.255 respectively, though these are only guesses based on the way LANs are usually set up). 2. "route -n" -- make sure that eth0 is either a route to your LAN (probably 192.168.1.0, guessing from the IP address of this eth0) or your default route (to network 0.0.0.0). 3. When you try to ping other hosts, are you doing it by IP address? If not, try it that way, to separate routing or interface problems from DNS problems. 4. Make sure your DNS is working correctly -- that either /etc/hosts contains the names of the other hosts you are trying to ping, or /etc/resolv.conf conatins an entry for a nameserver that can resolve the names. BTW, I'm assuming the eth0 interface is connected to a LAN. There are, of course, other possibilities (e.g., a DSL interface) that could be causing problems. If I've assumed incorrectly and you have occasion to post a follow up, please include a description of the physical setup.
