   Please explain "the networking fails".

   Are you getting any error messages on the console; if so, whay are they? 
Are you seeing any messages at all about network-related stuff?  Have you 
checked the system log (/var/log/messages or whatever)?  After boot, when 
"networking fails", before you mess with anything, what does "ifconfig -a" 
say?

   What if you juse use "ifconfig" manually?  For example:

 	ifconfig eth0 192.168.10.20 netmask 255.255.255.0
