Hi

Thanks for ur response,
The routing table is fine in my linux box. The second linux box iam 
trying to
ping on the same  LAN.
The rtl8139 driver version is 1.16a

LSMOD shows me both
pci-scan and rtl8139 loaded

and this is the output of cat /proc/net/dev

Inter-|   Receive                  |  Transmit
 face |packets errs drop fifo frame|packets errs drop fifo colls carrier
    lo:     20    0    0    0    0       20    0    0    0     0    0
  eth0:      0    0    0    0    0        6    0    0    0     0    0
  eth1:      0    0    0    0    0        0    0    0    0     0    0

Interstingly, I have only one interface ETH0 configured on my system, 
but this shows
me ETH1 as well. If I do
/sbin/ifconfig -a
i can see only LO and ETH0

Am i missing anything.?

Thanks,
Girish
