Just one last suggestion, take a look in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/  you should have some files named
ifcfg-eth0, ifcfg-eth1, etc...  an "ls -l" of mine (redhat 8, one
network card) looks like this:

[nsinton at crunch network-scripts]$ ls -l
total 176
-rw-r--r--        3 root     root          172 Sep  8 15:36 ifcfg-eth0
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           22 Sep  7 10:44 ifcfg-lo ->
../networking/ifcfg-lo
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           20 Sep  7 10:44 ifdown ->
../../../sbin/ifdown
--------------------------List truncated------------------------

kudzu has a bad habit of doing weird things like making network cards
like eth0:1

One last thought, you might want to remove the eth0 from DHCPDARGS= in
/etc/sysconfig/dhcpd.  It should pick an interface on it's own if that
is absent.
