yeah how wonderful , a network GUI with a mind of its own :-)
This must be a BUG. I will clearly have to test this GUI.
So if it dosent work, forget it.

should work .
editing/creating the file /etc/defaultrouter
and writing the router IP address on a single , and only, line in this file
should also work
after a reboot.
Then you need to fix the DNS setup.
/etc/nsswitch.conf needs the entires
-----------------
hosts file dns
ipnodes file dns
----------------------
the file /etc/resolv.conf needs to contain the Resolver
configuration
including IP numbers for the DNS servers.
/etc/resolv.conf
----------------
domain {your-domain-name}
nameserver {IP-address-of-your-DNS-server}
--------------
