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. /Sorin
