internet connection issue

[Andrew Bacchi]

Are you sure the NIC driver is being loaded at boot?  Check the output 
of 'dmesg' to see if eth0, or whatever number it is,  is starting up 
correctly.  Is the driver for your NIC in /etc/modprobe.conf? Also check 
/var/log/messages to see if there are any clues there.

What do you mean by "the Lan is fine", how are you connecting to it?  
Another ethX interface?

I agree that reinstalling won't solve anything for you, this is not MS 
Windows.

I tried another nic i.e. that of the Lan which workd well but i still can't reach the gateway. I connected a windows box and i can reach the gateway. I clone the windows mac address i still can't reach it. I have stopped iptables just to test, but still can't reach the gw.
