Strange NIC - Ping OK, But No Internet Connection

My computer is giving me a _very_ hard time configuring a network card.

I've tried 2 separate, brand new NIC's (in two separate PCI slots) - a
3Com and a Linksys 10/100. Both install just fine and look normal in
Device Manager, *but don't render any TCP/IP traffic*. My ISP can ping
me and it responds, but I can't seem to connect to the Internet.

Both Speakeasy (my Broadband ISP) and Linksys have exhausted all
practical
troubleshoot efforts. The DSL modem works fine when connected to another
computer, so I know its not that. The network IP, submask, gateway, etc.
settings are all pretty straight forward and have been gone over many
times.

MY SYSTEM:

Windows 98se
AMD Athlon 1.2 ghz CPU (running at 133/33 * 9.5)
Abit KT7A MB
256 MB PC-133 SDRAM
ATI All-In-Wonder pro AGP video card
Adaptec 19160 SCSI controller card
SB Live sound card
ADS USB-PCI 4-port card (Lucent chip)

That's it for the PCI & AGP bus.

Condidate cards are:

3Com 3SCOHO100-TX
Linksys LINE100TX(4)

Help greatly appreciated,

CK
