no ip detection on boot

[cavern]

I'm having a problem with Fedora not determining the IP address on startup.

When I boot up Fedora 8 then log into the terminal (without logging into the GUI), type ifconfig I get:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:8B:71:EE:0B
inet6 addr: fe80::218:8bff:fe71:ee0b/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:145 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:28326 (27.6 KiB) TX bytes:7847 (7.6 KiB)
Interrupt:16

Yet, when I boot into the GUI, OR if I type 'ifup eth0', it determines the IP address properly and returns:

eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:18:8B:71:EE:0B
inet addr:10.x.x.x51 Bcast:10.x.x.x55 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::218:8bff:fe71:ee0b/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:145 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:57 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:28326 (27.6 KiB) TX bytes:7847 (7.6 KiB)
Interrupt:16

I've tried to search but trying to search 'determine ip boot' obviously comes back with too many results..

I should mention my ifcfg-eth0 file shows:

ONBOOT=yes

I had this problem and solved it by removing network manager.

I had this problem and solved it by removing network manager.

I observed something similar. Suddenly after some updates NetworkManger stopped to work properly. I removed the bloody thing and lived happily ever after.
