I don't know if this is your problem, but CentOS guests do really weird
things with the network configuration. Check the guest
in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts and make sure that the ifcfg-eth0 file
still has the correct information in it. I've had mine (seemingly)
randomly switch back to default DHCP from a fixed IP configuration. This
happens often enough that all my guests have a ifcfg-eth0.bak file so
that I can easily copy back the old configuration when this happens.

I have never seen this happen with a native CentOS, only when CentOS is
a Xen guest. If anyone knows why that happens, I would love to know as
it is a major annoyance.
