Thank you very much scott.
I have 3 servers in a datacenter and the number 1 and number 2 work perfectly. The number 3 is the problematic one.
I am almost lost with this problem. I asked some linux gurus and they worket a couple of hours and finnaly they gave up. They told me that they have set private ips to the machines conected to the switch (servers 1,2 and 3) and that this machine (server 3) is not able to communicate with others on the same switch. They said that the problem may be due to some very strange problem on the PCI bus of the mother.
The mother is an A8VMX, and the processor is an AMD 64bit.
I've installed a fedora 5 distro, 64 bit ready.
This linux gurus also changed network cards (they tried 4 in total), exchanged cables with the other servers on the same switch, and the network still didn't work on server 3. Finally they installed a knoppix distro and everything worked in a minute, except the network, that still refused to work.
His advice was to install a windows os and see if it works, and I am going to do this tomorrow. If the windows os works, they promised to resing and dedicate to sell hot-dogs.
After taking a look at netstat -rn on this server number 3 I've got something like (I've took a picture at the screen but I can recheck tomorrow):
[root@s3 /]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
200.111.130.0 " 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
whereas the server number 2 reads (I've checked a minute ago):
[root@s2 /]# netstat -rn
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface
200.111.130.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
127.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
0.0.0.0 200.111.130.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
The server s3 has the following ifconfig (from another picture):
[root@s3 /]# ifconfig eth0
Link encap: Ethernet NWaddr 00:15:F2:C1:EB:E8
inet addr: 200.111.130.4 Bcast: 200.111.130.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

Any idea?
