3c905b problems

Hi,

I have a linux box at my office with a 3c905b card. I am not able to
access any machines outside the subnet. Ping to the default gateway and
other machines in my subnet works fine. Ping to any machine outside the
subnet just bombs. 

There is no problem when I boot NT.

Could someone please help me out ?? I am new to linux.

Thanks
Vikram
