The issue that I am facing could be a ridiculous, but it is. when I first did ifconfig I could just see loopback IP address, however, I executed "ifup eth0", and now I could see the IPv4. However, if I again to "service network restart" The Ip address goes away, and again loop back. Am I missing something?
