network manager , unable to add manual wired connection

[Dr D J Clark]

Version Network Manager Applet 0.70 (Intrepid)
Edit Connections (It would help to know that right clicking in the taskbar icon is necessary)
Wired connection Add
IPv4 Settings
Manual
Keyed in Addresses,
OK option is now greyed out, so unable to actually create the connection

Thanks for your bug report. Can you try to reproduce this bug with Intrepid Ibex final release with all updates? When OK button is greyed out, it normally means that you forgot something. You should make sure that the "Address, netmask, gateway and dns" fields contains correct values. If the problem is still reproducible after installing final intrepid release, can you also post exactly what you typed in each fields?

If the settings works until you reboot, this is bug 259214

Using the latest intrepid it appears to be ok:

Wired Connection Add
select IPv4 Settings tab
Method: Manual
[at this point the OK option is greyed out: fairynuff]
Add:
 address 10.40.47.53
 netmask 255.255.255.192
 Gateway 10.40.47.60
[the OK option is now available]
move to DNSservers box
start typing the OK box greys out, but is restored once the ip is complete.

So all appears OK now.
