I have a fresh install of FC3 and I am unable to activate Eth0 to accept DHCP. I have tried the little network wizard, but i can't choose DHCP, i can only choose and static address. I have looked around the network-scripts etc. but nothing helped. Thanks in advance!

If the box is configured to obtain a DHCP address, your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/eth0 would look like this

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

Once that info is in place, you can issue service network restart and it should attempt to pull an address. If this doesn't work then I would investigate whether or not your NIC drivers are actually installed and working properly.

Hope this helps.
