Output:   eth0 is not there

For fun, I ran this command.  I received the following output:
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifup-post: ifcfg-eth0: No such file or 
directory


>After you've typed the above, then does
>/sbin/ifconfig

After typing /sbin/ifconfig/ eth0 appears!!!!

Then I typed the command /sbin/dhcpcd eth0  and received the output:
****  /sbin/dhcpcd: already running
****  /sbin/dhcpcd: if not then delete /var/run/dhcpcd-eth0.pid file

>if /sbin/ifconfig -a doesn't show eth0, then tell me what
>/sbin/lsmod  says.

What the hell is going on?!  Now, typing /sbin/ifconfig -a outputs the eth0 
information:

eth0  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr  00:C0:9F:06:5A:91
      inet addr:66.91.114.64  Bcast:255.255.255.255  Mask:255.255.248.0

Thanks!  Here's the dmesg info:

Okay, now when I typed /sbin/netstat -rn, I receive the following output:
Destination  Gateway      Genmask       Flags  MSS  Window  irtt  Iface
66.91.112.0  0.0.0.0      255.255.248.0 U      40   0          0  eth0
127.0.0.0    0.0.0.0      255.0.0.0     U      40   0          0  lo
0.0.0.0      66.91.112.1  0.0.0.0       UG     40   0          0  eth0

BTW, now when I go to Konqueror in KDE and type in an internet address such 
as www.hotmail.com, my computer hangs then prints an error message Unknown 
Host.  Before today, when I would type an address, I would receive that same 
error message almost immediately.  Does that mean we're getting closer?  Or 
does it mean that we're confusing the hell out of my computer even more?

>The other routing table was the better one :-)
>What did you do then, that you haven't done now?

;-)  You're joking right?  Is this some cruel humor?  I have no idea what 
I'm doing even now, let alone what got me to here.  Basically, I feel like a 
stupid monkey on a keyboard.  You tell me what to do, and I do it.  Throw me 
another banana please!  Actually, I shouldn't insult the monkey community 
with my ignorance.  Thanks again for your help and time.  I hope we're 
getting closer.
