I don't know if this helps, but I had a similar problem. I had lo activated 
with all the X tools, but it wasn't started at boot.

well all the files U describe do exist. Now I also have ACTIVATED the network
service. But it still did not work. Then I just checked the file
/etc/sysconfig/network and it said NETWORKING=no, I just changed it to
NETWORKING=yes, and now all is working as it should. I suppose that ACTIVATING
the network service should just do the same when using linuxconf or Drakconf,
set NETWORKING to yes, but it apparantly did not work untill I changed it
manually.

Hope this helps...
