Network unreachable after reinstall

I had to reinstall Mandrake Linux after a hard disk replacement of a
machine running in my network. Before the reinstallation, it was able
to "talk" to other machines. After the reinstallation, it is not able
to ping other machines, nor visible to other machines on the network.
The network card is detected and installed properly during
installation. The card is able to ping itself, but not other machines.
I am running out of ideas how to solve this problem.

No it isn't. If that were true, all would work!

Means nothing.

What have you tried? Can you show us your experimental data, please?

Sounds like a faulty cable. Your data will tell us.

And what gives "ifconfig" as output?

Is there a inet adress assigned?

Thanks for your reply friends. It was a faulty network card slot.
Everything is fine after I changed the slot which was holding the
card.
