You can test the network you configure by running the script that Linux runs during bootup. The script on my Fedora 10 is in "/etc/init.d/network". From a text window run "/etc/init.d/network stop" to turn off your network and "/etc/init.d/network start" to restart it. The script on my machine also accepts "restart". Like blackbox_ns said modify the file in /etc/sysconfig until it works.

Careful though, the file ifcfg-ethxxxx can be "ln" (hard linked) and saving the changes in one will sometimes break the link to the other identical files. Take a look at the link field that can be listed in the "ls" command.

Equivalent commands on my Fedore Core 10 are the scripts "/sbin/ifup xxxx" and "/sbin/ifdown xxxx" where xxxx is the ethernet driver number and probably is "eth0".
