I cant network my computer

I have an Octane2 running IRIX 6.4 .
The problem is that the machine is not coming on the network .
I have put in all the details perfectly , like IP , netmask , name servers , gateway IP ,
I tried it on a Mac alongside me but On the IRIX it dosent work .
I have no idea wats the prob lem . It was working then all of a sudden it stopped networking .
Also it also takes a real long time to boot . like its waiting for somethin .
Any Ideas

Is the link light lit up on the back of your ethernet card? Are you getting any errors in the system log file? Can you use "ifconfig" to configure the interface by hand?

Well this may sound weird , but there is no link light for the card at the back of the box . But if I disconnect the cable and fix it again the messages are
ef0: Link down
ef0: Link ok
Also manually configuring using ifconfig dosent help
The log messges dont show any errors
