Hi, I am new to this mailing list.
I am using Ubuntu 8.10. I have not been able to resolve the problems on their forums, so this is why I am joining the newsletter. Apologies in advance if I am repeating a common thread. If so I would be grateful if you could please send a link. I have set up my wireless connection using Network Manager and this runs perfectly. I have set it to use the DHCP server on the router and the router sets it up as IP 192.168.1.2; Mask 255.255.255.0 GW 192.168.1.1 (Address of router). Now I wish to set up a wired connection to the same router. When I am in my home office and sitting next to the router I may as well connect to it by wire. I also wish to use a mains ethernet connection in the future to substitute the wireless connection when my wife connects in the living room). Unfortunately Network manager fails to connect to the router by wire. I have set the following wired connection settings: Edit Connections->Wired->Add; 1. Name: Wired Connection 1 (Default) 2. Connect Automatically : Set. 3. System Setting : Not Set (If I set this then the settings disapear into oblivion). 4. Wired TAB: 4.1 Mac Address: 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX: (Mac address obtained from ifconfig -a. 4.2 MTU : Automatic 5. 802.1X Security 5.* All options are not set. (Unsecure network, plase advise me otherwise if this not recommended. The router has a firewall). 6. IPV4 Settings TAB: 6.1 Method: Automatic DHCP 6.2 Client DHCP ID: 192.168.1.1 (Router Adress). This never seems to connect. I have toggled my IPV4 settings to Static IP's, and this does not work either. No joy. My nm-tool output when the wireless is switched off and on below: This has been bothering me for months. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
