Rich,

Running Ubuntu, the network-manager does not setup as a static ip 
addresss well.  I have installed wicd and have no problems with it.  
Everything looks good when I fill in all the blanks.  The computer hooks 
up to my network, but can't ping or access anything.  I am not sure if 
this falls under the Xubuntu problem, but thought I would mention it 
just in case.
