Ubuntu 8.10not remembering Static IP settings


Recommended Posts

How are you setting it? Right from the ifconfig command? If so, your configuration may still be set to grab the info dynamically via DHCP.

When you set it manually, does it remain for the duration of your session, only to return to DHCP on reboot?

Via the gui, clicking on the networkmanager icon...

Yes. I'll try the ifconfig method, didn't think of doing so at the time. Will keep you updated Mark, thanks man (Y)

Can't you input the proxy settings in firefox preferences?

EDIT:

Actually judging by that "tutorial" you followed, you probably wont have a default gateway

you need an extra line in the interfaces file specyfying the gateway

gateway 192.168.1.1

Would i needs to add my DNS servers in there also?
