I am trying to install debian on my wife's computer. It already has Windows XP installeld and running on its own partition and used to have Mandrake 10 on another Partition. Both WindowsXP and Madrake 10 recognized all hardware components including the built in network chipset.
I tried different debian CDs including Sarge testing net-install and Etch testing net-install and finally Sarge Stable DVD from Linux Format Magazine Cover CD. All these CDs have the same problem.. network is not work-ing :-)
I even tested the network chipset by using Knoppix Live 4.0 DVD and it was detected and automatically configure properly.
Here are some information I gathered so far, and all help is greatly appreciated:

What does the command 'route' show?
Is it possible that the address is already assigned on the network?
First off, Intel's problem.
Somewhere along the way, Intel decided to modified the chipset for the EtherExpress cards. So some will work with e100 modules and some will only work with eepro100 modules. So try that.
My lsmod
Second, to eliminate it's really the NIC's problem, post the result ofCode:eepro100 18996 1 mii 2256 0 [eepro100]
AndCode:ping 127.0.0.1
If it still have host unreachable, then it's the problem with NIC setup rather than your network setup.Code:ping 10.0.0.2
Third, try using DNS nameserver entries other than your own gateway/router. I've seen many problems with this kind of setup including mine which is Netgear Wireless AP/router. It just refused to render DNS requests from my Linux or too slow to response to *nix's TCP/IP stack.
My /etc/resolv.conf is
My local gateway address is there just so that it is there plus I don't have search entries. I don't think you need to defind search entries unless you intend to use /etc/hosts as your local name resolution service.Code:nameserver 204.127.198.4 nameserver 63.240.76.4 nameserver 192.168.70.1
Other than that, it seems to be setup correctly. The only thing I can think of it is either you have the wrong module or you have half-ass NIC card (hey, I have some of those before. They won't work unless I put in IRQ and IO manually in Red Hat 6.0 days).
P.S --> I like the way you ask questions with the commands you try and stuff. K++ for ya.
I posted alot more than that in LJR and I don't see my post here.. it seems that I have to repeat my self

These are some outputs I got from Knoppix 4.0 Live DVD which detects and configures the network correcly:

I noticed IP is different in Knoppix. In Debian and Windows it is 10.0.0.2 and it is working in Windows. I will change it in Debian to 10.0.0.4 to match Knoppix but I don't expect it to solve the problem.
More testing:

Things I noticed so far:
1) Debian is using an older kernel with an older e100 driver than Knoppix which uses a version that is reported to work.
2) IRQ for the network port in Windows in Knoppix is 10 (both working), while Debian assigned it to 11.
Options I have:
1) Try changing the IRQ for the network port in Debian, I need to check how.
2) Use a newer kernel no less than 2.6.12 which Knoppix uses.
3) Use a NIC other than the buildin one.
