Ah nice, here is what upstream has to say about this: > Already fixed in nm-connection-editor: > > https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=e8a16438d8e3696d5e818d48bd49b9c1f284fd2c > > Note that before this commit it was already possible to manually modify the > connection address using nmcli or editing the connection file to also change > the DHCP pool served to clients. > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of > https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763937 ***
The manual setting trick, from https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763937 : > Yes, that is a limitation in nm-connection-editor, which should probably be > fixed. Which also means, it's non-obvious to the user that the range is > configurable. > > > Try for example: > > nmcli connection modify $CONNECTION_ID +ipv4.addresses 192.168.5.1/24 > > where you can find $CONNECTION_ID via `nmcli connection show` > Afterwards, verify with `nmcli connection show $CONNECTION_ID` > ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #763937 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=763937 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098362 Title: DHCP settings for network manager shared connection are hard-coded source, should be editable Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: 1) Ubuntu 10.04, but it's in all versions. 2) any version of network manager 3) I want to be able to change the DHCP settings for a shared network connection 4) YOUR OPERATING SYSTEM WON'T LET ME! The file nm-device.c contains this line: nm-device.c: guint32 start = (guint32) ntohl (0x0a2a2b01); /* 10.42.43.1 */ hard-coding DHCP settings that should obviously be editable by the user is a TERRIBLE IDEA.
