Have you installed CentOS as a virtual machine or a physical installation.

If as a virtual machine then there is some setting you need to check in VMware

Which linux version are you installing and what is system config

Either you have to update the kernel or get migrated from 5.5 to 6.* version of Cent linux. Well a good news is rhel / cent just have came up with 7.0 version you can work that to

Same issue i faced in my office environment. 

I am assuming u r installed CentOS 5.5 on vmware Workstation.

CentOS 5.5 is doesn't have  drivers for vmnic (Nic for vm).

Two solutions for this,

1) Select proper OS and distribution on Workstation .

2) install vmware tools for that VM.

This are two solutions we came across
