just installed a fresh centos-minimal and i can not get bridged network to work or any of the networks not even in host-only mode. when you run ifconfig there is no eth0 only a lo,

also when you cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

DEVICE="eth0"
HWADDR="08:00:27:FE:D5:10"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="no"

  • Did you try using ifconfig -a instead of ifconfig? The former will display information about adapters that aren't in the 'UP' state.

As cpuguru said, you need to config the network. So login on your centos and execute:

vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

As Chris R explained, you should edit the contents of that file to end up having this:

DEVICE="eth0"
HWADDR=MAC Address*System MAC*
NM_CONTROLLED="no"
ONBOOT="yes"
BOOTPROTO="dhcp"

Then save (escape :wq INTRO) and then reboot:

reboot

    If you have cloned a VM or otherwise changed the MAC you may need to delete /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules ... please correct me if I am wrong!

I had a similar issue with CentOS on Hyper-V the other day.

The solution seemed to be to fire up a terminal, su to root and run 'system-config-network' to enable CentOS to use the virtual nic.

  • Try changing your ifcfg-eth0 script parameter from ONBOOT="no" to ONBOOT="yes"
