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.
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.
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.
What would this mean..
plain vanilla install
A regular standard install with no extra bells or whistles.
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.
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.

Thanks for your reply.
The installation was a DVD1 install. The internet is via a direct cable out of my laptop direct to a DSL modem. Even tried my cell-c modem (cell phone provider) which works on all the below OS'ses.
I am a pensionar and have lots of time. Experimenting with different flavours of linux each on a external USB drive. Like suse, mandriva, debian, mint, debian-mint, ubuntu, fedora, magaia, bodhi, arch-linux, centos.
Up to date only arch-linux and now centos refuse my internet connection. I appreciate your responses but if it can not be done, that is a pity, then it is fine. Regards JohanS

Johan,
What kind f laptop is it (make/model), if the Ethernet controllers is Atheros you will need the drives from ElRepo as it is not included in CentOS.

It appears that this issue was resolved in a separate issue

The drivers can be found on ELRepo

It can be done, it 's just a matter of time and stubbornness. OTOH, you seem to have the time. ;-)
