Yes there is definitely a problem with the network configuration tool.  
It corrupts /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 by putting the gw 
address in netmask.

Of course then you have no internet connection so you can't update things!

I repaired mine from the command line with gedit.

Thanks for responding to my request for help.
