Hi,
I had the same problem the other day and a helpful poster informed me
that I had to run:
chkconfig network on
from a terminal (as root I believe). This causes the network service to
be started on each boot. Why it is disabled by default I don't know. I
was using Fedora 9 so I'm guessing you are too.
Anyway, that did the trick for me.
