I'm also affected by this bug (and get the same log errors) on a fully updated (just installed from daily-live) Oneiric system. I have only one Netbook which accesses Wifi and one Desktop connected via LAN. I want to share the Wifi-Internet connection to the desktop. The desktop (kubuntu) is set to DHCP. But even with networking disabled at the desktop (by using the network-manager applet in kubuntu), the ICS connection is lost immediately after being established. So I guess there is not really a duplicate IP in the network. The network behind the Wifi-device uses a completely different ip-range (192.168.1.*), so there is no way that the IP adress is already in use.

With the 11.10 beta 1 release I encountered issues with ICS via lan eth0 when attempting to share my wifi connection to a desktop. Both use Ubuntu and the issue is only present in 11.10 beta 1. Everything seems to be configured correctly but I encounter the computer in which I share the connection, to be repeatedly connecting and dropping the connection in 5 sec intervals when attempting ICS with Lan from my wireless computer until I receive a bug notice when I attempt to try other settings. Everything else seems to work with Network connections except ICS. Sorry for the lack of info or logs. This was tested in the 64 bit version using Ubuntu 11.10 beta 1 - as said before the computers used were plug and play with 11.04. --- ApportVersion: 1.22.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CRDA: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10 Gconf: IfupdownConfig: auto lo iface lo inet loopback InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot" - Beta amd64 (20110901) IpRoute: default via 192.168.1.254 dev wlan0 proto static 169.254.0.0/16 dev wlan0 scope link metric 1000 192.168.1.0/24 dev wlan0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.1.64 Keyfiles: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory NetworkManager.state: [main] NetworkingEnabled=true WirelessEnabled=true WWANEnabled=true WimaxEnabled=true Package: network-manager 0.9.0-0ubuntu3 PackageArchitecture: amd64 ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.0.0-11.17-generic 3.0.4 Tags: oneiric running-unity Uname: Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64 UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare mtime.conffile..etc.NetworkManager.NetworkManager.conf: 2011-09-12T17:15:11.395570 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/849297/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
