Had you, for example, searched to find out a) how to look at a file, b) looked at the files I suggested you look at, or c) showed you'd done ANYTHING other than read my response and go, "duh, what's that mean?", I'd have been willing to work with you.
I had done some of the things you said. Did find out a) and b) andI think I posted output from cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 in the thread. I know it is there in post 26. Trying to learn Linux at age 77 ain't easy. The comments from different ppl will not send me scurrying back to windows. I have no probs with Ubuntu 12.2 nor Mint 14. Both installed on their own HDs the first time and I didn't have to edit anything. Only CentOS is giving me troubles which is a surprising thing to me. Is this due to differences between Debian and PRM.
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-b67e85d98f0e9f1b599358105c551632c6ff...
Had read this FAQ many times and clicked "Configure Networking" and selected system eth0 and connect automatically. Bottom line is that it booted once but not a second time after logging off. Mentioned this I think. So that is where I have difficulties. In FAQ 2 above, the 'will start on boot in the future" is what id doesn't do. I can re-install again if that's necessary and hope it works this time.
and this screen on how to do it on an 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).
