I am sorry but i didn''t understand the meaning of this ? Why
shouldn''t i
activate the interfaces ?

Btw i resolved the problem as per Roberto''s suggestion. I first tried
to
compile the nic drivers which came with the mb for linux, they didn''t
compile. Then i got the latest drivers from http://sf.net/projects/e1000,
drivers release dated 14th Dec, worked. I was able to compile them, issue
modprobe, assign them an ip and i can now activate the interfaces and ping
outside network.
