Many thanks to all,
your suggestions where precious and really halpfull.
I made the corrections needed by modifyng the
/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-eth0 and
/etc/sysconfig/network-script/ifcfg-lo (I prefer to correct the right
initialization scripts after some studying instead of just using a GUId
program (like netcfg or linuxconf); I think that often the mistake lays on
them); then I run "/etc/rc.d/init/network restart" but nothing happened. The
problem was still there althought I had the following results :-(
------------------------------------------

After some more test I was frustrated again. I shut down the system and
restarted it after a while. Halleluia!!! Everything is now perfect. The
problem is solved. It seems that it runs everything as it should now. I
don't know what was wrong. I didn't changed again the network-scripts. Maybe
running "/etc/rc.d/init/network restart" is not enough and some other
configuration had to be reread and initialized with some other program.
B.t.w. now I'm happy and I thank you all because you all showed me the right
direction (i.e. correcting the routing and the absence of the lo interface).
What I wish to know now is just why "/etc/rc.d/init/network restart" was not
enough. I was sure that this is the script that runs everything relating the
network (peripherals initialization, etc...). What else runs at boot time
that interferes with the use of the network? Any idea? Please let me know. I
like evolving after having solved some problems.
bye,
Roberto
