Lisa, What version of RH are you using. I seem to remember that I had this problem. I think I stopped eth0 and then brought it up again. If you are using RH8 (or 9?) the network configuration tools are not too bad, and can be used to set the gateway.
Check your .hosts file too. That may need editing.

Can anyone tell me what I need to do to correct this ?
