Does ifconfig even show your network card, or only your loopback device (lo)?

It shows your loopback device only. This probabyl means that the system did not recognize your ethernet card, probably because of a missing driver.

The easiest solution might be to use another distribution.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centos :

Quote:
CentOS is a freely-available operating system that is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This rebuild project strives to be 100% binary compatible with the upstream product and, within its mainline and updates, not to vary from that goal. Additional software archives hold later versions of such packages, along with other Free and Open Source Software RPM-based packages. CentOS stands for Community ENTerprise Operating System.

Otherwise, try this command (as root):
modprobe r8169

Your network card is a Realtek RTL8100CL, which should be supported with that driver.
