Yep, looks sane. If you don't need IPv6 you may wish to consider setting NETWORKING_IPV6=no; this won't remove kernel support but it will prevent IPv6 addresses from being added and such. > # Intel Corporation 82545EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (Copper) > DEVICE=eth0 > BOOTPROTO=static > BROADCAST=192.168.1.255 > HWADDR=00:08:74:4F:3E:8A > IPADDR=192.168.1.5 > NETMASK=255.255.255.0 > NETWORK=192.168.1.0 > ONBOOT=yes Have you double checked the HWADDR to ensure that it's correct? This is very straight forward and should be working fine; the only possible issue I see is if HWADDR is incorrect and if that is the case then it would definately cause ifup and friends to fail.
