Ok, so I tried both Debian and Mint. Still having the same issue. The problem lies with p2pool or my installation of it using the script I linked earlier. Does anyone have any ideas?

Ok, just spent the day installing ubuntu server over and over to see what happens with this and that.

I tried a few options for correcting the problem:
1) Edit connections >>> delete whatever connection is listed, create / add new connection ... I tried that, but it had no effect at all, rebooted, still no effect.
2) In terminal >>> sudo service network-manager stop && sudo rm /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state && sudo service network-manager start >>> reboot ... no effect
3) Uninstall libglib2.0-0 >>> reinstall libglib2.0-0 >>> it broke my server >>> reinstalled
4) Uninstalling and then re-installing the network-manager - no effect.

I then recalled that during the setup and install of ubuntu server, it asks which ethernet port (I have two onboard gblans) is primary, I chose eth0, but, it appears I was plugged into eth1 with the ethernet cable >>> I changed the cable to the other port et voila!! - all better instantly, connection manager recognized that I was plugged in and showed all appropriate info in the Connection Information window.

So, no guarantee, but perhaps you have a similar situation with which port you're connecting the ethernet cable to when there's only one cable connected - worth checking out.

Cheers.

Wow, thanks for taking the time to try all that! The motherboard I'm using right now only has one NIC, so it's definitely the right port. Grin

I have no problem establishing a connection to my LAN, the issue is keeping it working properly. It just sort of half dies on me, no matter what. Weird thing is when it happens, I can no longer ping my router (192.168.1.1) or the WWW (google.com for example) but I can still ping other rigs on my LAN and they can also ping the troubled Ubuntu rig (192.168.1.200).

I set everything up on a VM using virtualbox, and for some reason it works flawlessly. I can't wrap my head around this.
