I have a system that I have done a fresh install with xp home sp2. I installed drivers in order that Dell specified. Everything is nice and smooth but the network card which is working, will not receive packets. I can ping the machine from the machine but i cannot ping any other machines or the gateway. I have even installed XP pro sp3 thinking that may be the problem. Still have the same issue. I tried another nic. Still the same issue. I am using static IP and this machine has been configured like all others on the network (no conflicts). Device manager is all a go. Please help before I throw this computer out the window. :)

post a ipconfig /all from the problem machine and one from a machine that works.
