modifying "/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0" should be enough I 
guess...

Could you post the output of ifconfig? Are you sure your forme IP 
address was not bound to something else than eth0, like eth1 or eth2?
When deploying linux vm, one common mistake is that when you change the 
mac address, at boot up udev make a new rules and bind your new mac 
address on eth1 or eth2 and up (depending on the last time you cleaned 
up your /etc/udev/rules.d/xxx_net_xxx file. So eth0 is still bound to 
the old mac address which is not existing anymore.
I guess cleaning udev should be enough, otherwise could you please post 
your ifconfig output.
Cheers,

Denis
