Ok this is what is in that interface file, "ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=yes
NEEDHOSTNAME=yes

I have no idea what the 4th line means, the last line I do not think that I 
supplied a hostname, but I never have previously. I also do not see dhcp on a
'locate', where is it supposed to be ?

Skippy.
