Strange network problem

[Peter L. Peres]

I have a problem that looks like a bad ethercard. The host runs linux.
After an abnormal shutdown (power failure or glitch) it came up and since
then eth0 (a ne2k clone card) will not ping or be pinged. It is up, but
nothing goes through it. Other hosts show incomplete arp entry for it, its
own arp table remains empty. Strangely, when I ping another host with it
it pretends to work and shows a normal ping time but the other host does
not register the pings. I will change the card but this is the weirdest
failure I've seen so far.

opinions ?

PS: Virii are almost excluded, the system is never connected to the
internet.
