[CentOS] Network Problem on New Install of 6.4

[Gregory P. Ennis]

Cliff,

Thanks for your help.

This machine is scheduled to be a mail server for a business with a
static ip address behind an ATT Uverse router.  

There were no entries in the /var/log/messages that I could identify as
errors.  There was no dhcp exposure during the intallation; I planned to
manually enter the ip, gateway, dns addresses, and subnet after the
installation.  The problem apparent was that the customary eth0 was not
present for me to edit.

I have now taken the server back to my lab, and still am not able to get
to the network card.

Any suggestions before I try CentOS 5.9 would sure be beneficial.

Are there any messages in the logs? In particular 'dmesg' messages. (I
don't have a CentOS system right here so I can't see which log is
appropriate.)

Is there a DHCP server on the network? A little more detail on your
situation would be handy. Is this a home network with ADSL or similar?

Cheers,

Cliff
