NIC comes up with reboot, but something wrong

[Steve Buehler]

I have a strange problem here that I have not seen before.  When I reboot 
my server, my nic card is up and running when I look at an ifconfig.  I can 
ping it from anyplace else and get a response.  But I have to do this after 
booting:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifdown eth0
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup eth0

If I don't do this, then I can't reach any of my ports, 25, 21, 80, 
etc.....  I am sure that I can put in another script to run at boot time to 
bring it back down and up again, but I would rather find the problem and 
fix it.  The server is a new development server, so I can reinstall, but if 
it happens again later when I really need it to be up, then I won't have 
the option of reinstalling it.  I have tried turning off the firewall and 
rebooting, but still have the same problem.  So I don't "think" that it has 
anything to do with the firewall.  Has anybody else seen this?  Can anybody 
lead me in the right direction on fixing this problem?  The NIC card is a 
standard 3COM (3c905c).

Thanks
Steve
