That ifconfig shows that there have been bytes sent doesn't necessarily 
mean something (as it counts everything that returned no error). 
Receiving should be a good sign, though, unless you created that 
traffic locally.
I would use tcpdump or a similar tool (for example Wireshark) on the 
other box to see what's actually going on in the network. Also, 
enabling a few TRACE macros in different network components should 
help. You might also want to have a look into the ARP cache using the 
"arp" command - if your other box (or router) is in there, you can be 
sure that at least the first contact to the outside world worked out 
okay.

Bye,
