    If that doesn't work, do a...

    service iptables stop

    and then try the ping tests. You are pinging from internal windows machines
    to the internal nic of the linux box right? If the pings then successfully
    work ( as I expect they will ) there is a problem with your firewall rules.
    If you cannot ping from the windows boxes on the internal network to the
    internal nic of the linux box after stopping iptables, since you already
    re-installed the nic, I would tend to think there is a problem with the nic
    configuration in /etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth1. If shutting down
    iptables doesn't allow successfull pings, post to the list the ifcfg-eth1
    file mentioned.

    # IGNORE ICMP BROADCASTS
    echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts

    Try changing that line it's the only one that refers to icmp request.
    Just 'echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/icmp_echo_ignore_broadcasts'
    I don't even have this file. What version OS are you running?

    absolutely right, I have a standby Windows 2000 Advanced server with ISA
    installed for the same operation and the same network, and when Linux server
    breaks down I put this server up, and I am facing no issues with it...so
    there has to be something wrong on the Linux Box which I am not able to
    figure out.I am an fan of Linux and when stuff like this happens it really
    upsets me...hence these discussions!!
