Wow, thanks guys! I got it working using the devel version of Mad Developer. Upon connecting it created a new network "Local Area Connection 5". I set up the properties for it and this time it let me enable it and it stayed enabled. From here I receive replies from the N900 when I ping it. It still works on and off as the first few times I tried to configure it through QT creator it said No device found although I was able to ping it. Then I kept on doing the disconnect/reconnect/enable network cycles and it eventually found my device.
