Thanks for the answer, so nm-tool says this:

I noticed the line 'State: disconnected' however right now I'm
connected, I'm sending this email :) Again I had to manually 'dhclient
eth0' which results in a working connection, only nm-applet thinks
that somehow there is no wired network connection.

Cheers,
Daniel
