[realtek-bug] Question/Problem according rtl8139.c

[Daniel noname]

Hy all,

I got a real great Problem with my new Laptop:
I got a rtl8139 networkcard and a 2.4.18 kernel installed.
It is possible to configure the interface (with ifconfig) but i just can 
ping to 127.0.0.1 What does this mean ? How can I ping to my entire network 
or to the internet ???
I included the module in the kernel.. Thats not the problem.

Can anyone help me ?

The message in /var/log/messages:
---
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Setting halp-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
---

I need help,
Greets,
D.
