Pl try to log as the root user. At the # prompt type ifconfig -a and see
whether your ethernet eth0 or eth1 and lo are UP.
If not make them up by # ifconfit eth1 UP
This will also indicatethe IP of the local ethernet card and try the ping
command once again after the interfaces are UP.
Presto everything will be fine!!
