Have you tried reinstalling avahi-daemon? And what kind of errors are
you getting exactly?
What were you using the connect to the network? Was it wireless or
wired? Were you using knetworkmanager, or anything else of the like?
Have you tried ifup/ifdown?
Just a bit more information would be helpful, I can't think of
anything that removing KDE could do unless you rely on knetworkmanager
or avahi-daemon to connect.
