Isn't NetworkManager and NetworkManagerDispatcher stopped by default?
And Network is "on" in a tipical FC8 networked box setup?
I'd check /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and make sure you have
the line:
    BOOTPROTO=static
Then turn off dhcpd:
    chkconfig dhcpd --level 35 off
 let's don't forget /etc/hosts.
