if not /etc/sysconfig/network then check 
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1

And don't use DHCP with the dLink if you can help it, it has a lease time of 
about ten seconds. Not only is this wasteful of CPU time and bandwidth, but 
it makes it damn hard to tell by looking at the lights whether there is any 
real traffic on the line.
