Network errors with windows xp sending packets but not reciving

[MattWaterman 0]

I have a realtek ethernet card in my desktop and windows can see that the network is there, and knows when I disconnect the cable, and send packets, but it doesn not recieve any, and I cannot get onto the network. Tryied switching the port I am hooked up to but that didn;t work, and I know the cable is good, any help would be appreciated

Do you have a firewall running, such as the one with SP2 installed?
