Ethernet card not working when '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart'.

My ethernet card (National Semi|DP83820 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controller) is not working properly, it works on bootup and just works but when I do '/etc/rc.d/init.d/network restart' I get:

Code:

Shutting down loopback interface:                          [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters:                                [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface:                            [  OK  ]
Bringing up interface eth0:

                                                           [FAILED]

This does not happen with my other ethernet card (nVidia Corporation|nForce2 Ethernet Controller.), which is integraded with my motherbord.

Any idea why this might happen?

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

Code:

# National Semi|DP83820 10/100/1000 Ethernet Controller
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
HWADDR=00:40:F4:67:21:4B
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

If you have two ethernet interfaces, one will be eth0, the other will be eth1. The /etc/rc.d/init.d/ script may be pinging out of the wrong interface. I suggest you post again with a description of what you want to do with each interface, and show us what you have inside the /etc script you were using.
