Was the system originally setup to use DHCP? If so, have you restarted networking since you changed the network config files to use a static address? (ifdown ethX / ifup ethX) What do you get if you run an ifstatus on ethX? How about ifconfig -a?

Other than that, the only other things I can think of to check are the contents of /etc/HOSTNAME and make sure it has your FQDN and also make sure your FQDN is first in the list of names for the static ip in your /etc/hosts file.
