I run debian woody with default shipped in 2.4.20-bf24 kernel. I have a
Linksys LNE100TX network card. I use a tulip.o driver for it. I have
connected this box ( 192.168.0.1 ) to an m$ windows xp system. That
system has the ip address 192.168.0.2 .
Now when i give the command
# ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
I am able to ping my system using
# ping 192.168.0.1
When i try to ping the xp box ( 192.168.0.2 ), it times out after a
while, reporting 100% packet loss. but when i do the same from my M$ xp
os with the same ip as i had in debian ( 192.168.0.1 ), it pings and
network is really up.
Check your routing tables dude :) Default device should be eth0
[root@localhost VPN_VM]# /sbin/route -n

That should show you where you are getting stuck on the debian side .
I tried compiling a new kernel(2.4.21) with the tulip driver built into
it. It doesn't help too.
Unless I am mistaken your drivers are fine atleast with the 2.4.20 kernel.
I also triied loading the module using various options in 2.4.20-bf
kernel. It didnt work either.
check with mii-tools and try to set it to FD, just an attempt, though at
this point of time, setting it to FD or HD makes no difference.
[root@localhost VPN_VM]# mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-FD, link ok
[root@localhost VPN_VM]#
