you're welcome, let's see how much further we can get you. I'm forwarding
this back onto the main list since the more heads that can be applied, the
better...
...and besides that other people could stand to be able to learn the answers
too, sometime. Since I'm on the list proper I don't need two copies, so I'm
not on the cc.

okay, this suggests your netmask is wrong, your gateway is wrong, or its
ability to pick up DHCP isn't working. (which maybe as in really not working,
or as in being given wrong data.)

Yes. Tell us whether you want to use DHCP or a static address, give the
ifconfig -a
and
route -n
from one of your other machines that works... and this one that doesn't...
and show us your current /etc/pcmcia/network.opts so we can tell if you
typoed.
