seeking for help........

It is detecting your card, but it isn't recieving an IP address. If you have DHCP on your network:
check the cable
check the network card's indicator light

If you set the IP manually, set it again
ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.1
change the 10.0.0.1 to whatever you feel like

have you already run "netconfig"?

The cable wire is perfectly all right..........( as lan is working properly on windows).........
lights of lan card are all on.............
.........
now tell me where the problem is..???
...
and i've haven't tried "netconfig" yet.........why is it for..???

show some courtesy!
 

We just want to help you so don't get mad!

Now, if you have a dhcp server running (if you recieved an ip automatically in windows you probably have)
then type (as root)
#dhcpcd eth0
if you instead have dhclient as your dhcp client, typ
#dhclient

If you don't have a dhcp server (if you have to enter your ip manually in windows)
then you have to set it as musicman_ace described

If you have a gateway and no dhcp server, you have to add it manually by typing
#route add default gw 192.168.1.1
or whatever your gateways ip is.

good luck!

post the content of he file /etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf
