    Other threads suggest Network Manager has a bug that doesn't allow saving settings. Advice there was to remove NM and manually edit /etc/network/interfaces.

    1st i removed network manager
    Code:
    sudo apt-get remove network-manager
    2nd I edit the file
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces
    with my ip settings....

    3rd
    Code:
    sudo gedit /etc/resolv.conf
    and i add the DNS
    nameserver 200.75.200.2 example.!
    you can add more than one if you wnat

    4 Restart the interface file
    Code:
    sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart

    Its not necessary to remove NM -- it will just ignore any interface that is configured via /etc/network/interfaces

    Network Manager seemed to ignore the entries and the system did not have any IP Address.
