If you are wanting to make changes to your firewall settings, open a shell session and from root type <system-config-securitylevel>. This will bring up your firewall settings in the GUI. You should be able to make your changes from there.

login as root
goto the terminal - from the hat - system tools - terminal.

then try stopping iptables (firewall)

by typing

service iptables stop

then to bring up eth0 type in

ifconfig eth0 up

and then see if all is ok....ping another comp on the network and see.

to permanently stop iptables from starting at boot, type in
chkconfig iptables off

hope that helps...

Thnx greyhammer and Nomad..

now working..... properly......
