Thank you guys for all of the help. I thought about it for a while and I took the network card out of my dad's computer and put it in the computer that seemed to have two nic's and it worked. It came up and I was able to ping the other computer next to me. Why would the network card cause a problem like that? The configuration I had for it was just the simple one you set up when you install RedHat. Anyways...thank you all for your help, I am sorry I fell like I wasted everyone's time.
