Hi, Thanks for your help, but I am aware of the command line and configuration file ways of setting up Static IPs. But that is counter- intuitive when network manager is available. I searched far and wide for a way of setting up static IPs using network manager, but all I could find were recommendations to uninstall it before following the methods you suggested. It seemed like a bug back when NM 0.7 was introduced in Ubuntu- but it is surprising that this problem still persists even after a full year. So I was wondering if I was missing something about NM 0.7 - which is why I raised this question. Uninstalling NM 0.7 and attempting text configuration is a last option for me- not that I hate text configuration, but I hate to change the default working configuration of the system.
