Subject: Re: CentOS Networking with V Box
now that command you just gave, gave a different output than what I was
using....
the original error message told me to use journactrl -xn, which was the
output I just sent...

your output shows a message that "Could not load file
'/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-lo'


Whis is strange, becasue the lo is showing on ifconfig
