At the GRUB boot screen type "a" to modify the kernel boot parameters,
type "1" to boot in single user mode, "enter".  (If you set a GRUB
password will first have to type "p" and give the password.)  This will
give you a root prompt where you can work on the problem.

Can't give much advice on how to fix the problem[s] without more
information on what you have done already.  Might try

 # chkconfig network off

to keep the network from trying to start until you resolve the problems.

Please read ESR's excellent advice on getting good help:

One popular option is "kppp".
