Yep, changing the BOOTPROTO to none did the trick after rebooting haha. You
got to love these things, you get one little thing wrong and nothing works
hehe, anyways thanks for the help.

Dave -
my guess is the BOOTPROTO="bootp" is the culprit. I bet that the kernel is
doing a bootp call and cannot find a bootp server anywhere.
Try changing that line to :
BOOTPROTO="none"
I am also assuming that the domainname is really:
mydomain.com and not me.com
I don't think this will keep the interface from coming up anyway.
