Hi,
   I am developing a control panel applet and want to configure IP address from 
the applet using
ifup eth0 command. But I am not able to execute this command as it needs root 
permission to execute
the command.
    I am running the command from applet using system command.

system("ifup eth0").  I also tried to execute following script from control 
panel applet

sudo gainroot
ifup eth0

but it did not work, it changes to root shell but ifup runs in old shell.
  Any idea, how to get avoid this permission problem ?

How about "sudo ifup eth0"?
I'm not sure what you'll need to add to /etc/sudoers to enable this, however ...
