After restarting a headless CentOS 6.3 machine, it lost outbound internet connectivity, i.e. I can still connect to the server via SSH (ssh root@**.126.18.56), but stuff such as ping google.com gives google.com: unknown host, and yum list some_package gives a lot of network errors.

This is what ifconfig gives:

I have absolutely no clue how to debug this, and I find it very strange since I can still connect via ssh.

EDIT: Weirdly, /etc/resolv.conf does not contain any entries, or none that I can make sense of:

# Generated by NetworkManager
search sui-inter.net


# No nameservers found; try putting DNS servers into your
# ifcfg files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts like so:
#
# DNS1=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DNS2=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
# DOMAIN=lab.foo.com bar.foo.com

So is it possible that rebooting the server erased that file? It worked before at least! And how do I solve this?

By the way, pinging an IP address works.
