Thanks to all who replied, and gave many good suggestions. I'd like to
thank Shawn Cromer for his suggestion on changing the card's speed
configuration. Changing the card to 10-base half I was able to ping the
outside. I'll have to get in touch with our telecom depart to see if
they can bring that port up to 100-full.

Thanks again for all who contributed.

regards,

Shawn's response was as follows:

You can hard set the speed at the PO>>> prompt

PO>>> set ewa0_mode fastfd

The above will set at 100 Full Duplex

fast will be 100 half and twisted will make it 10 half
