I haven't used my FC3-64bit for a while, but when I booted today I noticed that eth0 was active although I had set it to be manually activated, and I was not able to deactivate it. Also, I noticed that when I turn of FC3 and the list of services being killed apperars some of them say FAILED. Is there a log somewhere where I can check this out?

Also some of the networking commands do not seem right, although I can connect to the internet just fine. For example, when I did dhclient eth0 I got a strange response:

Can't bind to dhcp address: Address already in use
Please make sure there is no other dhcp server
running and that there's no entry for dhcp or
bootp in /etc/inetd.conf. Also make sure you
are not running HP JetAdmin software, which
includes a bootp server.

If you did not get this software from ftp.isc.org, please
get the latest from ftp.isc.org and install that before
requesting help.

If you did get this software from ftp.isc.org and have not
yet read the README, please read it before requesting help.
If you intend to request help from the dhcp-server@isc.org
mailing list, please read the section on the README about

Please do not under any circumstances send requests for
help directly to the authors of this software - please
send them to the appropriate mailing list as described in
the README file.

exiting.

And also:
[root@xxx]# ifup eth0

Determining IP information for eth0... failed.

I think the last time I used FC3 I may have checked some services in the server settings. Is there any way to fix this?
