OK, something is wrong here.  You managed to successfully shut down both 
network and NetworkManager.  It's not normal to have both of these 
active at the same time and bad things will happen if both of them are 
trying to manage the same interface (like overwriting your routing tables).

On my machines I tend to use the older 'network' system for fixed 
ethernet connections, and the newer NetworkManager
for wireless connections.  However NetworkManager should be able to 
manage fixed DHCP connections too and is probably the more generic way 
of handling network connections now.

To set up just the traditional 'network' system:

[as root]
service NetworkManger stop
chkconfig --del NetworkManager
service network restart
chkconfig --add network
ifdown eth0
ifup eth0

.. if you're still not able to route anywhere then run

system-config-network

select eth0 and press "Edit".

Check that "Controlled by NetworkManager"  is unticked.

Check that "Automatically obtain IP address setting with DHCP" is checked

Check that there are no hardcoded routes defined.

Reboot just to make sure everything is cleared.




If you want to use NetworkManager [I don't use this much so I'll leave 
it for others to correct me here!]

[as root]
service network stop
chkconfig --del network
service NetworkManger restart
chkconfig --add NetworkManager

..possibly reboot just to be sure everything's clear.


Hopefully one of those will get you up and running again.

TTFN

Simon.
