|Hi,
|	I am having problems accessing the net. I tried a few things |and this is
|what i get:
|	* My linux machine is unable to ping my windows machine.
|      * However, from my winNT m/c I can ping the linux machine.
|      * But I can't telnet to the Linux machine.
|	* Netscape dosen't recognize the proxy server settings that I |am trying 
to
|give.
|
|	What is going wrong ?
|
|	vibhu..

Even i had faced this kind of problem 2 times , and u will be surprised I 
faced this kidn of problem with 2 NT box, and the problem/solution that i 
found was that the NETWORK CARD was faulty and replaced it with good network 
card. The Other problem is that ur hub/switch is giving a problem.

So in your case also,Try out these options,
1. If u are using a hub/switch, change the port of this Linux
  machine to some other hub/switch port.
2. if the above one doesnt solve the probelm, try changing the Netwok
  card the Linux Box.

NOTE: Ok can u tell me is your network 10Mbps or 100Mpbs...??
bcos if the card is 10Mpbs and you connect it to 100 Mbps switch also it can 
cause a problem, so Configure this specific port on your switch to 10Mbps. 
(You may think , if you put to AutoSelect, it  may work fine , Actually it 
should, but some times it does not , I have faced this problem World class 
switches too....!! So no hazards in trying it out...!!

Hope this solves your problem, or else pls. mail be back.
