2006-02-08 20:28:36 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) network-manager: statusexplanation We have no intention for dapper of supporting static IP addresses with network manager. To configure static IP addresses for a given network interface, use the System -> Administration -> Networking dialog.

To configure static IP addresses for a given network interface, use the System -> Administration -> Networking dialog. I am reopening this since configuring a static ip with Dapper Flight 6 live cd fails. When the live cd starts, network-manager is automatically started. When I then configure the wired network interface via System -> Administration -> Networking dialog and click 'Ok', I see the nm-applet icon rotating and the interface is reset to dhcp. This is not user friendly and it is unclear how to configure a static ip with the live cd.

2006-04-28 12:28:05 Scott James Remnant (Canonical) network-manager: statusexplanation The network-magic specification explicitly rules out support for static IP addresses with Network Manager for dapper - so this is simply wishlist.

A "Static configuration" menu item has been added to nm-applet in Feisty so that this is easy to find. static configuration isn't yet integrated with network-manager, but this gets the job done by launching the appropriate tool. network-manager (0.6.4-6ubuntu2) feisty; urgency=low * Add "static configuration" menu item for NetworkRoaming spec. -- Tollef Fog Heen <tfheen@ubuntu.com> Thu, 18 Jan 2007 11:22:19 +0100

As I said before, the moment you switch to a static IP configuration using network-admin (I even went to the menu item added), and NM automatically shows that the connection is disconnected, and liferea/gaim/epiphany goes into offline mode. Basically, if there are any references of the interface in question in /etc/network/interfaces, NM would consider that interface to be disconnected.

Feel free to post and correct me if this is not the case. Static IP configuration still doesn't work as default in Ubuntu Feisty final if network-manager is used. Problem still left the same, like I described in this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/baltix/+bug/5364/comments/22 Shortly - try to boot from Live CD ant to set static IP address, like I described in comment above. After setting static IP you need to deactivate an interface and activate it again, only then static IP configuration starts work: [..] 2. enter static IP, netmask, gateway and clicked on "OK" button; 3. when I clicked on "OK" button then some progress bar in network settings dialog was displayed for a while, but internet connection wasn't activated when progress bar window dissapers, look at ifconfig output: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:A7:71:DB inet6 addr: fe80::216:36ff:fea7:71db/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 4. then I clicked on the checkbox near the "Wired connection" (turned off "Wired connection"), and, after several seconds, clicked on the checkbox near the "Wired connection" again, and only then my "Wired connection" with static IP started to work, look at ifconfig output: ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:A7:71:DB inet addr:192.168.0.66 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::216:36ff:fea7:71db/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

2009-03-04 02:07:55 Jonathan Thomas knetworkmanager: statusexplanation The KNetworkManager portion of this is being tracked in bug 280762, and it has a fair amount of duplicates itself so it probably won't be marked a dupe of this bug.
