about what Craig said at first "Finally, pressing the apply button doesn't set the new IP address immediately; it doesn't change until I turn the "enable networking" check box off and then on.
The latter workaround makes it impossible to perform the edit remotely, as turning off the check box does immediately turn off the network." I am 99% sure it is the same issue I've just confirmed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/297745 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/395896 Title: network-manager loses edits in network address form, apply button doesn't change connection Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts: Invalid Status in NetworkManager: New Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When attempting to set a manual configuration in the IPv4 settings panel, the address fields behave badly - clicking on an empty field make the editable field appear a little out of place, using the tab key or pressing the apply button (instead of pressing the enter key) after typing in a value loses the value.
