Hi Gary,
I have been struggeling with this card for a long time too on my SE. I never got the UTP / RJ-45 port working. However I had an 10Base5 (thick Ethernet) to RJ-45 converter which I use now. This works perfect!
Now about your problem.....
But you write that you can ping the machine. Well ...in my opinion it means you have a network connection and everything should work fine. But are you sure the result of the ping is OK? I agree with porter that you should test the things he suggests. Like doing a telnet session, etc. You could also install a web server on it and try to connect to its IP address (the IP adress of your SE). In this case a simple TCP/IP configuration is used. Give your SE a IP address in the same range as your other local computers and you can connect to your web server.
