Installed Centos 6.3 live-cd. Looking good but * no internet connection * (wired dsl system).
Did you check the "Automatically connect"-check box in the network manager for you connection?
If you've done a plain vanilla install and didn't look at the network settings at install time, odds are that this checkbox is unchecked.
HTH.

Thanks for your reply...
On install there was a option at left hand bottom for Internet connection on some page. It was grayed out and had no effect on clicking. Where would this be found, please...

What would this mean..
plain vanilla install
Clean re-install would be no problem for me to get this going. I spend a lot of bandwidth (live-cd, netinstall, DVD1, DVD2) and time until now. Kindly some advice to look for while installing and directly afterwards, please.
Thanks JohanS

This could mean the live-install didn't recognize your network card.
Are we talking wireless or wired connections now?
So far I haven't seen a wired network card *not* being recognized out-of-the-box. Wireless card are a different matter, although it might've become better in CentOS 6.

A regular standard install with no extra bells or whistles.

You know, if we're talking wifi-networking on your computer, CentOS might not be the best choice (please List, forgive me for saying this..). You might be better off using something like Linux Mint instead.
