I did this with a new network profile and activated it, but no good. I need
some info/tools on examining my "network" I think.

Actually the router WAS between the modem and my desktop until I took
things apart and the router Was not part of the equation. I wanted to
verify the setup I had with JUST the modem, but I am at a loss on how to
get CentOS7 to access a "local" url on the same local network without
getting the "no network" business.

Thank you for your suggestions.
