Well, the gateway might not allow ping packets. You can try to
'traceroute -n' it and see if that works.
Also you have not said anything about what is in you /etc/resolve.conf
file.
If the card works in WinBlows, then I see no reason why it would not
work in Debian. Are you sure that the kernel is detecting the IO Port
and IRQ correctly for the network card?
