As root, I type the command
netconfig

It brings up a character screen from which I select DHCP.  Everything goes 
smoothly.

When I issue the command:
service network restart
I get the following:

Shutting down loopback interface      [  OK  ]
Setting network parameters            [  OK  ]
Bringing up loopback interface        [  OK  ]
Bringing up eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
Determining IP information for eth0...SIOCSIFFLAGS: Device or resource busy
                                       [FAILED]

There is quite a long pause (maybe 30 seconds) between the message 
"Bringing up eth0:" and the rest of the message.  This is also the message 
I get whenever I boot up.
