    Is it the same thing you guys are doing here???

    And no matter what os I use it has the same address because is tied (duh) to the hardware.
    Thnx!!

    well ive honestly tried thew pidgin irc but nobody ever replies to me.

    so I come here to haunt people

    no, their talking about turning off DHCP entirely, and configuring ubuntus IP settings manually.

    you have pointed out an interesting side affect of binding licenses to MACs (the multiple OS's). Most high end dhcp devices do that by default.
    I use static addresses on my net (it's small enough to get away with it), and usually manually configure both OSs on a dual boot to use the same IP.

    Thanks, cupcrazy. I did have one strange issue while doing this. The .conf file lost the changes I applied (yes, I saved, but it lost other data that was in there to begin with, also). I reapplied my changes and it worked that time. The workaround that involves adding a new configuration seemed to work for some and not for others. I was one of the others. Your workaround did the trick. Thanks again.

    Re: WORKAROUND: Setting Static IP 8.10

    Hi,

    This looks like a work around. Can anyone tell me how to add a second card? It is already installed, but it seems that neither card is working. When I run ifconfig the output shows eth0 but not eth1, any ideas?

    I received this answer in another thread, but I believe it would be very useful here.

    Good luck

    Just use WICD

    I have to put in another vote for WICD. Network Manager was such a buggy pain and WICD gave me easy static ip on my first try without reading any documentation. What a relief. wicd install

    Thanks for the fix!

    If you're unable to use your router as a DNS forward and don't want to bother with your ISP's servers, OpenDNS (http://www.opendns.com) would be a decent alternative.

    Here's their servers if you're interested:
    208.67.222.222
    208.67.220.220

    You do not need to remove Network Manager.

    edit /etc/NetworkManager/nm-system-settings.conf so that it reads
    Code:
    [ifupdown]
    managed=false
    true=let NM manage Your connections
    false=do not let NM manege Your connections

    in System->Preferences->Sessions un-check "Network Manager"

    the rest is, pretty much the same as in "my book".

    Apparently, it's not that easy.
    Mine is already set as above and I didn't change it...
    Code:
    [main]
    plugins=ifupdown,keyfile
    
    [ifupdown]
    managed=false

    did You set manually Your /etc/network/interfaces? If Yes, that's the answer ... If No, then we'll have to dig further ...

    Re: WORKAROUND: Setting Static IP 8.10

    I have not edited /etc/network/interfaces manually.
    I did add a static IP address and delete the 'auto' entry using the GUI. It didn't stick after a restart.
    Code:
    ct@p42:/etc/network$ cat interfaces
    # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
    # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).
    
    # The loopback network interface
    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback
    
    # The primary network interface
    auto eth0
    #iface eth0 inet dhcp
    ct@p42:/etc/network$ ls -al interfaces
    -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 269 2009-01-04 00:43 interfaces
    ct@p42:/etc/network$
