Chris,
Try disabling the 'magic' services: 'NetworkManager', 'avahi'. Maybe
even 'hal' and 'dbus'. Ubuntu is trying to be overly protective of
newbies with desktops - and it works, if you have one NIC with a
dynamic IP address. When you go out of the norm, it's better to take
the matter into your own hands.
Cheers,
florin
