It seems the network admin is incorrectly writting the static interface declaration in /etc/network/interfaces. It is currently written as follows:
"iface eth0 inet address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auto eth0" This entry should be: "iface eth0 inet static address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx gateway xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx auto eth0" Manually adding "static" to the interface declaration resolves the behavior described in this bug report. -- Manual TCP/IP settings overidden by roaming https://launchpad.net/bugs/82088 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
