I saw the same thing. I think it runs in prefix format, according to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/network-manager-applet/+bug/293749/+viewstatus
In short, "24" is the equivalent of "255.255.255.0". I can confirm that it will store the number 24. The general usability of setting up for a static IP address is naff: for example, when you click "add", the first screen is about MAC address and MTU size, both of which 99% of users will never want to change. You enter IP addresses in a list, although you generally only need one, while DNS servers, where it's common practice to have two, are in a single textbox, and you are left to work out for yourself that a comma- separated list is expected. I suggest we generalise this bug to be about all of this rather rough UI. -- Not possible to configure IP manually in kubuntu Jaunty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/359491 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
