unable to ping gateway

I have a problem on a private ethernet where my F50 cannot ping its
gateway.
I hagotten out the service manual for the F50 and mapped ent0 (en0)'s
location code to its physical slot to be sure that I was using the
adapter that was cabled up. I re-installed AIX 5.1.
then did a smit mktcpip (initial config) checked the ip address,
subnet, gateway with a co-worker.
and i could not ping the gateway. So I downed and detached en0 with
ifconfig and configured en1 and then en2 to make sure that I was
using the proper adapter and no luck each time.
I did find typo's in the hostname I was setting and I down detached
en0-en2 and then did a initial config again and still did not have any
luck.
I switch out cables, rebooted and still could not ping, I switched
ports on the hub and still had no luck. I have tried refreshing inetd
and then making sure that it is running.
I can not ping the F50 from the gateway machine -- a CWS.
what am I leaving out? Calling AIX support would be difficult because
I'd have to sit in the machine room and it 51 (out of support). Yes, I
have 53 support but will not lie to get this fixed.
Can any one help out?
thanks
