thanks for the reply. Our college has subnetted the hostels on the basis of the 3rd octet and for our hostel the subnet mask is 255.255.242.0 The allowed ips are from 172.31.64.0 to 172.31.67.255; This arrangement is working fine in some of my friends systems(in this hostel) but I am having this problem. should I change the slot ?? 
bye

I'm surprised you have a static IP, I would expect DHCP - check with your support area, that may be your problem.

Hi, i am a newbie to linux and am trying to switch over to this wonderful phenomena. I want to connect to my college ethernet LAN through my linux box ( realteck 8139 card in a 845glly board with p4 1.7). After installation (rhl 9 shrike) and initial customizations (static ip and gateway addresses)  now i see that my box is not able to ping the college server. The lan card in the 4th pci slot and is properly detected during boot up. Please advise me the kind of options I have.
with thanks and regards. kk
