I have
hosts:
# Do not remove the following line, or various programs
# that require network functionality will fail.
127.0.0.1               localhost.localdomain localhost

and ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Ethernet

and resolv.conf:
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
nameserver 24.116.209.232
nameserver 24.116.0.202
nameserver 24.116.212.232
