Thanks Rob, I had a nice coffee and took CS's advice and stuck to CLI! :)

I did a google for "kubuntu static address" and the first link was

Looks quite informative and easy to me.

GREAT! So I wasn't going mad after all... That's what I did in the end, just edited it manually.

I did spot a mistake I made though...

# auto eth0

What does that line do? Does anyone know? I commented it out by mistake and was having problems getting the IP to set correctly.

Regarding a package manager, I like synaptic.

Ya, I've used that before as well.

I like apt when I know what I'm looking for. The GUI tool is really useful when I want to know what stuff is though.

Cheers Don
