if you just want to shut off your ethernet port, then

ifconfig eth0 down

should do the trick.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish, or may I ask why are you trying to shut off your network access?

The network manager is what is actually controlling the network configuration in a defualt installation of ubuntu, the networking service is used for more manual configurations. By disabling the networking service you should have close all communication channels, but the network manager had went and took over the devices with it's own configuration. The easiest way for you to sever networking in ubuntu is to make sure that no items in the network manager are showing as connected.

Not a tech answer I know, but if you need your machine to not be on the network and it's a semi-permanent arrangement, just disconnect the network cable? Sorry if there are reasons this isn't an option!
