Just a note: I ran into this issue today with a fresh (and fully updated) install of Hardy.
Upon further investigation, /etc/network/interfaces had "auto eth0" about two lines underneath the end of my static settings. I moved "auto eth0" back above the connection where it belongs, .../networking restart, and now things are working fine. -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
