I just installed Fedora 8 on my desktop computer. My computer gets an IP address from my router which runs a DHCP server. It works at runlevel 5. I can access the Internet. After I changed the default runlevel from 5 to 3, my network interface cannot be bring up automatically. I have to run "ifup eth0" manually to get an IP address. Anyone can help me out.
I've had this problem too for one of my servers that runs nessus on Fedora8. I solved it by stopping the NetworkManager service and starting the "network" service.
