Installed Service Cannot Open Ports

[Steve West]

I installed a service with open tcp ports. When the machine boots the 
service starts after the network is configured but I cannot connect to the 
ports. When I run this services from root it all works fine and can connect 
to the ports. Any ideas?

My stock answer these days to any sort of problem liek this is to test
it using network rather than Network Manager.

AS root:

# chkconfig NetworkManager off
# chkconfig network on

Reboot.  If it now works and you don't need wireless, you have fixed it.
If you need wireless log another NetworkManger defect use case.

Or to me more specific, if you are using NM the connection to the
network does not occur until you login. So you cannot use it until you
login.
