I just ran ifconfig, and got back no collisions.

That server then ties me into the internet. But in spite of there being no collisions, the ping 192.168.13.254 command still takes infinitely long, and I can't use my browser/email service -- but only on Linux. My Win98 still operates fine (same computer). Any other suggestions?
