Mhm. I've determined that the card can send packets, yet not receive. I don't have any proof of this, but I can form some educated guesses on this.
1) The card sends a DHCP IP request packet. It waits.
2) It was sent sucessfully, and this computer recieves it. Mmk, what now? Sends the responce.
3) The other computer: Wheres my responce? Hm, must not be connected.. LIMITED CONNECTIVITY, PHEER!
4) Meanwhile, I can ping "BOB" (the other computer) from this box, because I received step 1 and it now has an IP, but I get timeouts.
Does this sound logical, as to whats happening, and is it possible for the card to be half-dead?
If the computer is being assigned an IP via DHCP, then it can receive packets. Maybe you have a bad ethernet cord?

That would be my guess.
Ethernet cord is new =/
