Don't know if this helps, but here are my /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/resolv.conf files (remember this is from a RH6.0 box and yours may be in a different place) ifcfg-eth0:: DEVICE=eth0 IPADDR=10.0.0.120 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.0.0.0 GATEWAY=10.0.0.1 BROADCAST=127.255.255.255 ONBOOT=yes resolv.conf:: search localdomain nameserver 206.80.192.1 nameserver 204.147.80.5 > uswest.net is the ISP and the internal network is 10.0.0.x/24 as you surmised.
