OK, that does make sense. It's an irritation of the NM. Try this (from a
terminal Applications|Accessories|Terminal):

gksu gedit /etc hosts

edit the 127.0.0.1 127.0.1.1 lines:

127.0.0.1  localhost MysticVentures-Laptop.cortez-ross
127.0.1.1  MysticVentures-Laptop

save and exit the editor.

While still in the terminal:

sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

and now you should be OK. Try your connections.

Reboot to see if the settings stick; when you log back in, open a
terminal and enter:

cat /etc/hosts

and see if they are as above.
