Check the contents of

/etc/sysconfig/network

and more importantly

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

The latter ought to look something like this:

DEVICE="eth0"
BOOTPROTO="none"
BROADCAST="192.168.50.255"
IPADDR="192.168.50.3"
NETMASK="255.255.255.0"
NETWORK="192.168.50.1"
ONBOOT="yes"

The former:

NETWORKING=yes
HOSTNAME=something
GATEWAY=192.168.50.1

My guess: the second installation blew away the setup in preparation for the install, but decided later that the package was already installed and didn't need to be re-installed, and so didn't run the configuration script.

Or something.
