Switching runlevels problem

I haven't seen any posts lately regarding this issue, and I searched back 
through April's posts as well...

What I'm seeing is this.  I switch to runlevel 1 using "init 1" command.  
Then switch back to runlevel 3 using "init 3" command.  The problem is that 
even though during the init process to runlevel 3 I see a green OK next 
to "bringing up eth0" the network doesn't startup properly.  After in 
runlevel 3, I have to run "service network restart" to get the network up 
again.  I also tried adding this command to /etc/rc.local (network get 
started twice), but this doesn't effectively restart the network either 
after switching from runlevel 1.

I was using a custom kernel, so switched back to the kernel (2.4.20-8d) that 
shipped with YDL 3.0 with the same results.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  Any clues to its cause?

TIA
