Lets see route -n please ;>
Try the lines
route add -net 192.54.242.0
route add default gw <router ip> metric 1
The first should allow you to ping other hosts and the second will setup
your routing.
Another thing to check is that the Dlink cards didn't get foozled when
Linux loads. I have a wack of De-250's here that go nutz if they are on
0x280, some get some badly damanged they have to be returned (eeprom was
erased!) Fire up win95 or dos and make sure the card works, do this with a
soft reboot. Also check the lights on the back and be sure that the recv
light flickers, both of those symptoms of a crazed dlink.
