If you are using grub, try this:

(login as root)
vim /etc/grub.conf
(or use the editor of your choice -- kedit is fine)

(an example of what to look for:)
title Red Hat Linux (2.4.18-19.8.0)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
initrd /initrd-2.4.18-19.8.0.img

(here's a really quick change:)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.18-19.8.0 ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi 3

The 3 at the end of the line of kernel parameters is the init level.
1 = Single user (I personally find this annoying)
2 = Multi-user, no networking (although it's worthwhile to check if the 
network daemon is on or off.  RH 7.3 leaves it on from some strange reason.)
3 = Multi-user, networking
4 = Undefined (Customize this as you will)
5 = XFree86, Multi-user, networking

Never, ever set it to 0 (shutdown) or 6 (reboot).  Unless someone deserves a 
LART.  :)

You can edit /etc/inittab and change the line that looks like 

id:5:initdefault:

to 

id:3:initdefault:
