On FC1 it's "/etc/rc.d/init.d/network stop" but "ifconfig eth0 down" is 
easier. If you look at xosview when your not using the Internet the 
ethernet card will still generate interrupts if you on a shared network 
like I am (road runner). It's probably packets meant for someone else 
that the firewall is filtering out.
