The netcard I am using in the Dell Pc is 3C905B-TX Fast Ethrlink XL PCI. Have tried others as well as the onboard NIC.

Linksys EtherFast 10/100 16-port workgroup switch model EZXS16W.

My internet provider is ITCDELTACOM. They provide an ADTRAN unit that breaks out the Internet and with cable connect to our switch. Again 256k banwidth. We have no firewall in house. Deltacom provides that.

Netcard config command results...
Ifconfig eth1 192.168.1.2
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.1.255 up
route added default gw 10.22.11.113
SIOCADDRT: network unreachable
Auto lo eth1
Setting nameserver in / etc/resolv.conf to 66.184.128.38

I would be happy to provide any additional info.

Thanks for your consideration.
