U know.. personally, I am not familiar with REdHat scripts, but I would re-run the network config tools....
I have heard the app setup mentioned a few times.... but I can;t remember which GUI tools did it... Find the network config, re-run it - preferrably the complete config... not just the one card config... let it reconfig the resolver order (hosts, NIS, DNS) and the card config (dhcp, nameserver dhcp) etc. Is what I would do...
