Amadeus,

Possibly.  Here are /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 from my
dhcp enabled FC3 box:

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
#BROADCAST=192.168.1.255
#IPADDR=192.168.1.99
#NETMASK=255.255.255.0
#NETWORK=192.168.1.0
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet
USERCTL=no
PEERDNS=yes
#GATEWAY=192.168.1.1
IPV6INIT=no

I've played with it in the past, thus the commented entries.  Try
commenting out the gateway address.  It might be
in /etc/sysconfig/network as well.  Then service network restart.
