Xircom and Potatoe

Hi

Hopefully someone can put me out of my misery with this card

Setup:
Toshiba Tecra 8100
Xircom Realport Ethernet 10\100 + modem 56 REM56G-100

i have installed debian 2.2r3 and it asked to configure pcmcia, no problems
when it comes to configuring network via dhcp , again no problems
when i reboot the laptop and the interface comes up, it has been recognised by 
the kernel , etho is showing a ip address collected from the server, yet im 
unable to ping anything on the network (all network details are correct)

Is there anything im missing out?

cheers
