Network problem: Ping is OK, Yet telnet and ftp etc is not working

[Jack Liu]

	Thanks. This chip is supported in linux kernel by tulip driver.
		{ 0x1317, 0x0985, PCI_ANY_ID, PCI_ANY_ID, 0, 0, COMET }
    And I compared the driver with 2.6 driver(Currently I am using
2.4.21 kernel), no related difference. So I thought this should not be
a bug in this driver(maybe). When I ftp and telnet myself, it is ok. So
the stack should be OK. So now I have no idea about the direction to
find the problem. Please advice me.

Best regards
