I've got a few CentOS installs, and I've noticed on the 5.3 version from DVD that some of the network stuff I filled in during install didn't quite make it to the proper config files. So, to answer the question, yea, it's probably normal. If you check the /etc/sysconfig directories you'll find the scripts /config files that need to be updated (as Dave mentions). Are you using 5.4? I'm curious because I'd like to know whether to expect the problem to continue. :-D -- See Ya' Howard Coles Jr. John 3:16!
