Stephen,

Three or four minutes to initialize *with* your broadband connection?
That's not normal.
What type of broadband connection?

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 looks OK to me.

Is there a line in your /etc/hosts file that says, 
"127.0.0.1      localhost" ?  Preferably the first line?
Do you have dhcpcd running on startup?

Regards,
Gregg
