<snip> It is showing eth0 as having a virtual interface eth0:9 associated with it which has been assigned the ip address 169.252.233.128. But didn't you say your Router assigns addresses in the 10.10.10.0 range? Is the 169.252.x.x network anything to do with your ISP?
Can you ping 169.254.233.128 ?
Is this what it shows after a reboot? What is it like if you do 'service network restart' in a root terminal?
And finally are there any other config files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
which could be affecting it?

my ISP assigns 169.*'s as "out of range" IP addresses. Meaning nothing can / is connecting to that IP... so its a dead addy. It gives them troubleshooting info by telling them an errors occurred. I don't know if that is a standard in Net addressing but you may want to look into that or if someone on the list knows.. ?
