Think the subject covers it all. ifcfg-eth0 is there but when I do service 'network restart' it starts loopback but that is all, it does not even try eth0.
This is driving me nuts. Ive now installed CentOS around 7 times and had no luck. The reason i am using 6.10 is it has to match a production server. I used the minimal install ISO.
The liveDVD works fine (it can access websites through Firefox).

What is the output from grep ONBOOT /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 ?

ONBOOT=no
In other thisng is MM_CONTROLED=yes, which seems wrong but changing this does not work.
I also tried doing a full desktop install, which worked (using 'install to hard drive' from liveDVD) but when I used yum to uninstall Desktop components it stooped working. I suspect it was using NetworkManager and works with this but without it there is something wrong.

As I see you discovered from another thread, ONBOOT=no is the problem. It's part of the CentOS FAQ...

Re: clean install creates ifcfg-eth0 but 'service network restart' ignores it
when you changed it to 'yes' did you reboot or at least start the device with 'ifup eth0' as root?

Remember - importing/building packages will likely "byte you in the butt" come update time, long after you'd forgotten you did that! Use repos whenever possible.

What's your NIC, and can you check if the corresponding module is loaded?

From another thread: he got it working. This one is dead.

POOP! I totally didn't 'connect' the network service comment and the NM_CONTROLLED.
