Run all commands as root:

1. ifconfig -a
Do you see an interface marked "UP" with a MAX address and a non-zero IP address?? (Not including "lo" interfaces.) If not, you don't have a working ethernet driver installed.

2. Can you ping the IP address of the interface? (for instance, eth0) If not, you have a network stack issue. Perhaps the network interfaces were disabled or perhaps there is a driver problem. It can also be a routing problem. Check "netstat -rn" and make sure you only have the default route.

3. Can you ping another host or gateway on the LAN? If not, perhaps iptables still has some rules installed. Do "/sbin/service iptables save" and check /etc/sysconfig/iptables.save for any rules which still shouldn't be there.

4. Can any other machine on the network ping the address? If so, it could be a cable problem. Or, it could be there already is another machine on the network with that IP address. Change IP addresses and try again.

5. Check the default route. You didn't mention this in the list above. Run "netstat -rn" to see the list of routes. The route listed for "default" should point to your switch or local gateway. Try changing this to another machine on the network.

6. If you can get to the router, but not past the router, the problem might be there or on a further hop. Use "traceroute -n www.google.com" or something to trace your route to the internet. If it stops after 1 or 2 hops, the problem is your gateway
