I have the similar problem, but I've diagnosed it to a failing dns lookup function. After a restart dns works for a few minutes. Any amount of inactivity, and it dies. I can get it back by restarting NM. This dns problem goes back into 2007 (lots of complaints across the various Linux forums about this), and as far as I can tell, it still persists in an intermittent manner such that some can get it to work and others cannot. This last week I reinstalled F10 i386 from a new downloaded DVD iso (vanilla install), and the problem persists. I then installed F10 i386 from a DVD contained in the "Fedora 10 Bible", and the problem persists. I downloaded F10 x86_64 and installed it on a different computer, and the problem persists. Both machines are dual-boot, and the Windoze side of each machine works flawlessly. I'm about ready to try Ubuntu to see if they have solved the NM dns problem. The complaints in the Ubuntu forums seem to have disappeared a few months ago...so maybe they got their act together, while the Fedora community is still fiddling around. Despite the claims, NM in F10, doesn't "just work." I'll agree with those who have recommended that we need to get the network choices back into the installation GUI. I should be able to select static IP, and it "just works".
