Sorry about that... I'm still learning to use Linux.

Yes.

I'm not sure about routing table but;

IP address : 150.203.72.63
netmask : 255.255.255.0
gateway : 150.203.72.1 (formerly 150.203.38.1)
name server : 150.203.1.10

Actually, I found the temporary solution. I have been told that in my
building, there are two gateways present - one at 150.203.72.1 and the other
at 150.203.38.1. I was instructed to use the gateway at 150.203.38.1. Under
Linux and OS/2, this doesn't work (DOS/Lose wouldn't give a sh*t and connects
just fine). I wiped the Linux partition, and installed the system from
scratch. It's Slackware 3.0 with 1.2.13 kernel. Then I did the netconfig
script, and gave the other gateway, 150.203.72.1. The rest are the same (ie.
the IP address, netmask, and name server). This did the trick (for a while)
and everything seemed to work - but!

I need to use both OS/2 and Linux for my work; OS/2 driving DNA sequencer
while under Linux I do the database search and stuff. So, I did "shutdown -r
now" then rebooted in OS/2 then came back to Linux. I found that I lost all
the connection to the network!! I didn't change a thing! Now I have to
re-install all Linux just to get network connection... Everytime after I
shutdown. Bummer!

I will if that's the only solution to my problem...
