No, the problem is that you did not turn on networking when you did the
install.

Since networking is off, you have to get it turned on (or reinstall and
turn it on this time).

See this FAQ entry:

http://wiki.centos.org/FAQ/CentOS6#head-b67e85d98f0e9f1b599358105c551632c6ff7c90

and this screen on how to do it on an install:

http://www.server-world.info/en/note?os=CentOS_6&p=install

In the 8th step ... you need to press the "Configure Network" button and
you need to then check the "Connect Automatically" box (per the above
FAQ link).
