When you ping any interface in your machine, the packets never
hit the card. It is done in kernel. Why send a packet to an
ethernet card if it is going to be read back in memory and not go
anywhere?
Without knowing your configuration settings, it is next to
impossible to help other than make speculations. Post the
contents of your network configuration files:
/etc/sysconfig/network
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth*
/etc/hosts
Also, are you pinging like this:
ping <IP>
or
ping -n <IP>
The latter is recommended when diagnosing a network that doesn't
work. If the latter works, and the former doesn't, then you've
got a DNS problem, or /etc/hosts problem.

I've overclocked my keyboard interface. It's quite messy dipping my
hands into the mineral oil, but *MAN* is my keyboard ever fast now!
