/etc/sysconfig/network

File has the format 

    NETWORKING=yes
    HOSTNAME=your.own.fqdn
    GATEWAY=ip.no.of.gw

/etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/hosts

with the usual host file format.

Both are used buy the init scripts.  Using linuxconf as you did should 
have changed them apropriately.
