I can confirm the same. I tried to configure my wired connection as a static ip address with the gui. It seemed to change the IP address, but I couldn't access the internet since the scripts didn't add a default route.
I had to hand edit /etc/network/interface from: auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 auto eth0 to: auto lo iface lo inet loopback auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 192.168.1.200 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.1.1 Manually moving the "auto eth0" before the "iface eth0 inet static" line fixed it so that the default route was created. Once the changes are made, use "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" or reboot to make changes active. -- Network Manager Applet Has Trouble With Static IP Address https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202605 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
