Yes. More specifically, I have a broadband connection at home via cable
modem. The provider is the one with the dhcp server, and my home pc is
the one with the 8139 card, with XP and Debian using the 2.2 kernel
connecting fine, but 2.4.20 timing out. Maybe this will clarify it a
bit.

As I'm not running the dhcp server, I can't assign an IP address
manually. I could try and connect to my old pc with a fixed IP, to see
whether it's the driver or the dhclient acting up.
