Hi all, There is an issue in ubuntu 8.10 beta version as far as network-manager is concerned. One of the many issues plaguing it atm is that after every reboot or boot the preferences or variables are blanked out .
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262 Now for self, have done a temporary workaround which works but I'm sure this could be improved upon. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/279262/comments/43 This is for ethernet wired connection to an ADSL router a. sudo ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 61.1.96.69 b. ping -c5 192.168.1.1 c. sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1 So I get something like this :- route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 I did a ping for the route man page says one should see that the gateway is reachable. After this things are happening coolly . Notice I'm not using any NetworkManager stuff or anything. The only thing issue atleast IMHO is that the preferences remain open only for the session. Each session I have to do that :( Comments, suggestions, additions to the above are welcome. -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal This email is licensed under http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ 065C 6D79 A68C E7EA 52B3 8D70 950D 53FB 729A 8B17 -- ubuntu-in mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-in
