John - thanks for the feedback.  Before I rip the chassis open and pull
out the NEC video (I think it's actually made by Radius), what do you
think of this netstat result and the /etc/xxx files shown below ?
I suppose if no one has any suggestions about changing any of the info
below, I guess the only thing left to do is to start playing with the
hardware in the computer, piece by piece.

Thanks !
Conrad

Networking problems...

This are the (I think) relevant files for setting up the network on my
Quadra 650.  Still can't seem to get it to ping anything else on my local
net.  Note that the 165 IP address is that of the machine that I'm having
a problem with.
