That is solved!

With 'ifconfig -a' I got

HWaddr 00:14:85:38:2C:93

but in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 it was

HWADDR=00:30:4F:2B:8C:84

(Different addresses!)

Then, I put in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

HWADDR=00:14:85:38:2C:93

and the problem has become solved.

Should not Fedora do that automatically and by default, with a sort of
'system-config-network --reconfig'?
