Network only works one way with Mandrake 10
 
I have recently installed Mandrake 10 Official on my server, and the network doesn't work properly. I can ping my desktop and router from my server, but I cannot ping my server from my desktop. The server cannot ping itself either (@localhost, 127.0.0.1, or 192.168.0.134, its own ip address on the network). I installed over NFS, and the sources (which exist on my desktop) that I mounted to do the installation are still mounted and useable over the network from my server.

ifconfig -a returns this:
Code:
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:06:29:2E:E0:58 
          inet addr:192.168.0.134  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

I don't see any problems with this (ip address exists anyways).

During the boot, it hangs for a few seconds while bringing up eth0 but still says [OK]. If I try to restart the network after boot (service network restart), bringing up the network fails. For this reason I don't think it is a firewall issue. What could be the problem?

Just a shot in the dark, but are you sure u have SNMP installed? As far as I remember, your utilities to check connectivity is included in that protocol.
You are pinging as root?
If u were able to ping localhost i would've said it might be the cable..
Sorry for giving stupid answers but i can't really think of anything specific.

Hmm... doesn't look good. Try flushing your firewall rules by running:

iptables -F
iptables -t nat -F
iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT

If it was a default mandrake firewall rule set, it should have given you lo bypass rules, but it makes sense with the pinging.
