CentOS - Nov 2012 - centos 6.3 live-cd no internet connection

Good day,

Installed Centos 6.3 live-cd. Looking good but  *  no internet 
connection * (wired dsl system).

Other linux flavours do not seem to have this problem on my laptop and 
internet connection.

Did a lot of google but not really advice that I could try.

I would like to try Centos out but not able to proceed without connection.

Kindly some detailed advice if possible.

Thanks
JohanS

When I was using dsl about two years ago, I had to run something - sorry,
not at home, so I can't look up what I did. Then there was the
WPA_supplicant, also. Maybe (and I hate to suggest it) you might try
NetworkManager.

Did you check the "Automatically connect"-check box in the network
manager for
you connection?

If you've done a plain vanilla install and didn't look at the network
settings
at install time, odds are that this checkbox is unchecked.

HTH.
