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 In Fedora, in the 'Network configuration' utility, you can set a static IP for an interface, and then deselect the 'Controlled by NetworkManager' option. See if you have something similar. Syam --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.

Hi, I have the problem solved, albeit partially.

Thanks for the very valuable info ശ്യാം ചേട്ടാ. I was able to identify the 'Network configuration' as 'system-config- network' [ http://fedoramobile.org/Members/MrHappy/system-config-network ]. Unfortunately, it isn't available even on Ubuntu repository. Besides, the page itself says, NetworkManager and system-config- network do not handle support for static IP addressing very well. Better support of static IP addresses is planned and in-progress for NetworkManager in the future. So, I guess I will have to wait more.

Also see this page. http://shibuvarkala.blogspot.com/2008/12/howto-solve-static-ip-problem-in-ubuntu.html Sunil sir, thanks for the link - it proved most helpful in figuring out the problem. All the while, I was trying to rename the 'Auto eth1' connection and set its method from DHCP to manual. Seems that this is not enough- you have to 'Add' a new connection and 'copy-paste' the MAC address to it. This was exactly what പ്രസാദ് ചേട്ടന് was suggesting earlier -but I never even guessed that the problem was in the way of editing connections. It may be a problem with the way NM chooses the default profile. That however doesn't solve my problems completely. NM assigns the Static IP only after someone has logged in locally (this wasn't the case with NM 0.6). On the other hand, I need static IP for remote SSH login, possibly with no one locally logged in. So it seems that the only option left to me is to deactivate NM for now and use text configuration- until they fix it. Meanwhile, I will give WICD a try and see if it fits my need.

[fsug-tvm] Re: Static IP in Ubuntu
Hi, Now I have Static IP too. The problem really is that it applies only after someone logs in. But I need it soon after booting- so I can try remote SSH. I am trying to get that to work. As a last resort, I am going to disable network manager and try text configuration. Regards, Gokul Das --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ Freedom is the only law.
