Thanks for the hint. However, I need a static IP to have access to a NFS file server. DHCP server is a hardware device (router/WIFI) and I have no idea how to make it keep the same IP address for the laptop.
Besides, I thought this was exactly NetworkManager designed for. When I need to connect my laptop to a network where a static IP is needed I just configure my laptop with NetworkManager. Pure and simple, to make users' life easier and make them happy running Linux. I think I would wait until the problem will be successfully solved rather than use any workarounds (The easiest would be just to switch to ifup). I thought I found a bug which developers of NetworkManager may find interesting. If so, I can provide any information to support them working on the solution. Please expect logs and answers to previous questions in my next post. 2008/8/1 Stuart Ward <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Wouldent a better solution be to configure your DHCP server to give the > laptop the correct address rather than use static IP address on the laptop. > > To do this create a subnet clause in dhcpd.conf with a: > hardware ethernet 0:0:c0:5d:bd:95; > Clause in it. > > Then you dont need to change anything when you use the laptop somewhere > else. > > -- Stuart Ward M +44 7782325143 > > >
