That would be ifplugd. It listens for a variety of state changes such as |
| 14 |
insertion of a pcmcia/cardbus/usb NIC or presense/absence of carrier on the |
| 15 |
ethernet device. When a device becomes available, it runs "/etc/init.d/net. |
| 16 |
device start" and when the device goes away/loses carrier, it runs |
| 17 |
"/etc/init.d/net.device stop". |

That should address the first of Michael's issues. I've not used |
| 20 |
monodevelop, but as I recall from using VS.Net, it wants to talk to the |
| 21 |
local webserver. Check what /usr/bin/hostname returns when your connected |
| 22 |
and when you're offline. Make sure when you go offline it isn't still |
| 23 |
returning something like foo.cablecompany.net. I have my machine's hostname |
| 24 |
set in /etc/conf.d/hostname and hostname is in my boot run level. |
