Really newb question for networking

dppls
Hello, I currently have RedHat 9. 0 Installed on my 2 servers. Both are acting really bizarre at system restarts. I can only setup my network manually, anything else fails AND when I reboot, all the configuration I have went through is ignored and my eth0 isn't brought up.
