You can keep your Network Manager as is, just do the following: 1)determine your IP using ifconfig (ifconfig lists all active and inactive connections - so you choose the IP your active internet connection has)
2) go to pidgin->tools->preferences->network uncheck the "Autodetect IP address" field and set the IP you just noted down in the Public IP. That solved the problem for me (however, if you get a different IP address everytime you connect to the internet, u r still in a mess) -- [gutsy] MSN waiting for network connection... but does not connect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/97591 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
