I don't have any file that begins with ifcfg in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts.
I took another look at the "services" gui and am not running
NetworkManager and I am running 'network'. And now I notice that in
the "status" area it sais (when network is highlighted):
--------------------------
ls: cannot access ifcfg*. No such file or directory.
Configured devices:
lo
Currently active devices:
lo eth0
--------------------------
Any clues?
Thanks;

Definitely strange - At the very least, you should have ifcfg-lo!
If you are using hte network service and DHCP, ifcfg-eth0 should
look something like this:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
HWADDR=<MAC address>
DHCP_HOSTNAME=<something>
TYPE=Ethernet
IPV6INIT=no
NM_CONTROLLED=no
USERCTL=no
You don't need all of this - you could get by with:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
You should also be able to create it using system-config-network.
