I just installed 8.10 and ran into this problem. Initially, it used DHCP
to connect. I changed it to 'Manual', set a new IP, changed the DNS
server, and the search domain. None of these changes took effect
immediately, but there was no indication that they would not. (IIRC,
they did take effect immediately in 8.04.) I went and looked at
resolv.conf and the contents matched those that DHCP would detect. I
then checked and uncheck 'Enable Networking', which solved the problem.
Yes, that's an obvious thing to try for most of us, but I think the user
should somehow be alerted with the option to reset the connection if
it's not simply reset automatically.
