They are on the same logical network so what does the gateway have to do with it?
I would suggest that you check that the card drivers have loaded properly. Do an 'lsmod'. If that is so also check dmesg output. That should give you clues as to what might be happening with the card upon boot up. One other thing that I have found to bring problems at times is the bios setting that goes something like "plug and play OS installed". Another thing you could try is to run tcpdump and see if the box can actually see the physical network.

F1..F1..F1 Hi, I have two machines one on redhat Linux 7.3 [linbox] and another running Windows [littlebox]. I have installed the network card on linbox and configured it with IP address 192.168.0.3. The IP address of winbox is 192.168.0.1. My problem is that i cannot ping from linbox to winbox and vice versa. While ping'ing, it says 'Destination host Unreachable'. My NIC is Realtek 8139. From linbox i can ping its own interface [192.168.0.3] correctly and i can also communicate with all other windows machines from winbox. While booting linbox under windows, its NIC is also working properly. The routing table of linbox is as follows: +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 127.0.0.1 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default linbox 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Please Help!!
