RH 9.0 refuses to install a STATIC network config

I have installed RH 9.0 twice on the same box
and for the network config I have selected STATIC
and entered my IP address in the appropriate
text widget. After each install I am getting DHCP
entries in the routing table. I am now trying to give
the machine a 'hand-job' (wink, wink, nudge, nudge
for all of the pervs out there), and I am finding
I must be missing something. The 'Network Tool'
indicates the correct IP address and hostname,
routing table just has the loopback entry, and the
boot output indicates eth0 init is failing. Here is my
ifcfg-eth0:

DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
ONBOOT=yes
IPADDR=X.X.X.X
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK-X.X.X.0
BROADCAST=X.X.X.255
GATEWAY=X.X.X.1

Any ideas? What am I missing?

Thanks.

Never had this problem with RH 7.0/7.2
