This is not too bad.. you get this sometimes if the machine that you're pinging has an incorrectly set clock.
[root@localhost root]# ifdown eth0
[root@localhost root]# ifup eth0 Determining IP information for eth0... failed
The machine is trying to use DHCP to get it's IP address.
Look in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
edit ifcfg-eth0
Mine looks like this...
DEVICE="eth0" BOOTPROTO="none" IPADDR="192.168.0.1" NETMASK="255.255.255.0" ONBOOT="yes"
Change the BOOTPROTO line to read none instead of DHCP.
