Can you post /etc/sysconfig/network?

It may be as simple as:

ifup eth0

Fedora 15 uses "Consistent" device naming, which means that your actual device name will likely be something along the lines of em1 or pci3p1 Source

	Ugh. "Consistent" network device naming. Consistent with absolutely no other distribution, that's what. – Hyppy May 13 '11 at 16:25
