The Shutdown script on 013 by default has a bug in that it does not shut 
the network down cleanly and leaves a pid file on the system that gives 
an 'Already Running' status to the Network startup on boot

You need to make sure your scripts are up to date and also one script 
needs to be manually copied down as it is not installed with the Script 
update!

To get your network run a root terminal
cd to /System/Variable/run
rm dhcpcd-eth0.pid                        (Assumeing your netwrok 
interface is eth0
StartTask Network

That should get you online to follow the rest of the fix
