From: John Taylor on 30 Apr 2010 10:01 Just trying out Ubuntu 10.4 Looks really pretty - shame that they still haven't got network manager to work! I really was hoping that they would fix it this time :-( Has any one managed to connect to a network with manual settings ? If I use Network Manager to set it to manual, and enter the details, the connection vanishes - network manager shows it as offline, and ifup says that eth0 doesn't exist ! If I enter it all by hand in /etc/network/interfaces, ifup now works, and ifconfig -a shows it up, I can ping other machines, but firefox still says it is working offline. Any ideas ? Thanks JohnT

Did you remember to set resolv.conf You need nameserver w.x.y.z (usually address of your router / gateway etc)

However, it is still very irritating that network manager still has very basic bugs. I've tried this on two different machines, and same results: Manual configuration of IP address etc. just doesn't work. Network Manager just gets in the way - it used to be easier without it. JohnT |
