Hi John, It doesn't even have to be queried as root; it *does* say it's running: $ service NetworkManager status => NetworkManager (pid 2455) is running...
so, set the above line to ="no" and you can manually configure that port.
Am I correct in "assuming" the file to change is this one? /etc/sysconfig/networking/devices/ifcfg-eth0
And not this one? /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/ifcfg-eth0
or, use the Network Manager GUI to configure it.
I didn't want to complicate things, but whenever I use the GUI from right clicking on the four bars, the same thing happens (eth0 disconnects after a few minutes): http://i43.tinypic.com/11h7ynk.png
