Public bug reported: When I changed to a static IP adress the network connection didn't work. If I manually did a 'ifup eth0' it was OK though. Looking at /etc/network/interfaces I can see that I'm missing the 'auto eth0'-row.
My system is Hardy Heron 8.04 devel up-to-date as of 080125. This is what I got: iface eth0 inet static address 130.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 130.x.x.x This is what it should be: auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 130.x.x.x netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 130.x.x.x ** Affects: gnome-system-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Setting static IP in Network Settings doesn't produce correct data https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/185854 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
