I have a router connected to my DSL modem. I have three machines connected to the router. The router gives the three machines the same IP address, every time. It's now set that way. I killed off network manager and it's craziness and just set up my addresses statically. No dhcp nothin'. Just edit hosts or use the netconfig thingie and away you go. No more problems. Oh yeah, set up your nameserver addresses in /etc/resolv.conf or use netconfig thingie again. You can now safely have a localhost without network manager doing beans to ya'.
