Hi, The most likely answer is that your interface is not enabled. Try someting like cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-em1 You will see for a disabled interface ONBOOT="no" Change the no to a yes and you should be good :) On Thu, Nov 21, 2013 at 4:32 PM, Wes James <comptekki at gmail.com> wrote: > I googled to see how I might restart the network interface in CentOS.
