That is normal for a wd NIC.

eth0 is up. Address is 192.168.1.2.

It has a route to basicnet addresses (192.168.1.x).

No. The most likely cause of the problem is the cable. Perhaps
it's faulty or it's the wrong type of cable or it's not correctly
connected or the terminators are wrong?

You should also check the address for basicnet (in /etc/networks)
to make sure it actually is 192.168.1.0.
