maybe this is a network-manager's fault and duplicate of bug #5364 ?
I've just tried to configure "Static configuration" on Ubuntu Feisty Herd5
(released on 2007-03) LiveCD (by clicking on network-managet icon in
notification area and choosing "Static configuration..."):
1. In "Network Settings" dialog I clicked on tab "DNS", entered one DNS server,
then clicked on "Connections" tab and then on "Wired connection" and then
clicked on "Properties" button;
2. entered static IP, netmask, gateway and clicked on "OK" button;
3. when I clicked on "OK" button then some progress bar in network settings
dialog was displayed for a while, but internet connection wasn't activated when
progress bar window dissapers, look at ifconfig output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:A7:71:DB
inet6 addr: fe80::216:36ff:fea7:71db/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
4. then I clicked on the checkbox near the "Wired connection" (turned off
"Wired connection"), and, after several seconds, clicked on the checkbox near
the "Wired connection" again, and only then my "Wired connection" with static
IP started to work, look at ifconfig output:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:16:36:A7:71:DB
inet addr:192.168.0.66 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
inet6 addr: fe80::216:36ff:fea7:71db/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
