Do you have network interfaces on this machine and if so are they installed properly?

what is the output from `cat /etc/modprobe.conf`

what is the outpuf from
`ifup eth0`

was that working ealier? Or setting up new one?

check files like /etc/sysconfig/network, /etc/sysconfig/static-routes,
folder /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts

You can try to capture both standard error and standard out (to a file) when evoking a command.

Like this:
service network restart > foo.txt 2>&1

You won't see anything on screen, but when the command prompt comes back look at the file (cat foo.txt) and see if it shows any messages.....


If you're doing this over SSH it might explain why you only see a blip....
