The process is wrong. It's expected behavior that the settings don't change immediately; since you can change the settings to any connection, not just the active one, and nm-applet needs to speak to NM to change the settings.
What you'll want to do is edit the connection settings, then click on the connection itself again via nm-applet: for instance, if it's a Wifi network, click its name again just above the "disconnect" menu entry and the connection will be re-established. Since this is already covered in NetworkManager, I'll close this bug as Fix Released. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/297745 Title: Changing the IP address in NetworkManager should immediately change the IP on the interface To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/297745/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
