I ran into a *very* similar problem with my IWill DBS100 motherboard.  I
finally located information that hinted that the "MPS" setting stood for
"Multi-Processing Support" - my motherboard manual only explained MPS as
"Change the MPS setting here" (gee thanks).

I had it set to 1.1, and could ping my own machine, but no others.  When
set to 1.4, my tulip based cards (Linksys Etherfast 100Mb/s) started
working properly.
