Dumb question - are you using NetworkManager or network service to
control networking?

What happens if you use "ifup interface" instead of restarting the
network service?

Are you using DHCP or a static IP address?

Can you ping by hostname, or only by IP address? If only by IP
address, does /etc/resolv.conf point to a valid name server?
