I can confirm that I am showing the same symptoms as Dave Gilbert (above) -- the static ip had the exact same problem for me (and I also worked around this by flipping to dchp and back).

But I have just now found what I believe to be the problem:

'auto eth0' needs to be added to /etc/network/interfaces so that it will be brought up when the os boots and runs 'ifup -a'. This should be added when NetworkManager sets interfaces to static ip.

Anyways, I don't know how to fix that in NetworkManager, but it doesn't seem too difficult. I hope this helps someone get it fixed.
