I would check your routing.

try typing: route

and see what it gives you.

I take the ethernet cable out of the router and plug it into our switch and use /usr/sbin/setup to assign it and IP address on our LAN.  I then execute /sbin/service network restart but I can't communicate with machines on my local LAN -- I can't even ping any of them.  If I reboot the machine all is well and I can comunicate with the network.  Is there something that I am omitting? Is there a way to change networks without rebooting?
