Public bug reported:
I had some issues with manually configuring the network on the 7.10 RC
Live CD when I was attempting to install it on my desktop. The problem
was an incorrect DNS entry from my DHCP server which I tried to override
by manually configuring the network connection, however Ubuntu didn't
save my changes or reload the network settings. The problem was not
solved using either command line tools or the graphical Gnome network
settings applet. I eventually had to correct the issue on my DHCP
server and reboot the 7.10 live cd which then pulled the correct DNS
information.
I even swapped out the NIC at first, because I thought it was a hardware
issue not accepting or being able to change any network settings. My
laptop running 7.04 had no issues manually configuring the network.

nVidia MCP51 Ethernet Controller
