Network Not Working in Linux ; Works in Windows Why ?

[John Smith]

Hi, 
I have just installed RedHat  in my system (Dual OS : Windows and 
Linux) 
I can ping any system on the network under windows. 


But, when i ping any system on the network under Linux I get, 
Undestination Unreachable error. 


I have Inter Pro 100 Ethernet card on my system. 


The Static IP is same for Windows and Linux. 


When i do ifconfig ; i am getting ip, netmask everything is ok. except 
Tx Packets and Rx Packets which are 0. 


I tried 


cardctl ident 


I got an message saying no devices in /proc/devices. 


I dont know what is the problem. 


I checked The driver is e100 it is loaded. but still network is not 
working. 


Please advice. 


Would appreciate if you could tell me what (steps) i should do inorder 
to correct my problem.

Hope this helps to identify my problem.
