In the process of fixing intermittent Network Connection problems, I disabled "dnsmasq" (which is enabled by default in Ubuntu 12.04). This fixed both my network connectivity problems and my zoneminder problem in #19.

To disable dnsmasq, I used this method (found on the internet):

you need to edit /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and comment the “dns=dnsmasq” line.

Open a terminal, and run

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

Then, make sure that the line

    dns=dnsmasq

is commented like this:

    #dns=dnsmasq

Now, restart network manager with the following command, and everything should work properly.

    sudo restart network-manager
