Don't use NFS for this if you can avoid it, seriously. While NFS is fastter, it's vulnerable to some subtler errors. FTP is almost as fast, HTTP is slower but often easier to set up in the first place.
That said, it sounds like your installation medium or OS image does not have the necessary network drivers. Can you switch to RHEL 5 or CentOS 5? Maybe boot with a CentOS 5 CD in rescue mode and see if you can activate the network devices, or similarly activate with an RHEL 4 first CD and see if you can activate them in rescue mode?
Also, beware: Linux has an awful habit of getting confused about which of two network ports is eth0, and which is eth1. So you may not be using the network port you think you expect, or they can swap in the middle of the install procedures.
