hmm... this looks like an old bug. Do you really have Red Hat Linux 8? which version of redhat-config-network is this? $ rpm -q redhat-config-network gives you the version. You may also try this, if you have 7.x: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2002-267.html
Version of redhat-config is 0.9.10.2.1 OS version using uname -a is 2.4.9-e.3smp I've been able to correct the problem by removing and reinstalling the NIC's. Thanks for the link I'll update the utility.
