Got this one sorted. Connection to network is fine with both Network Manager and WICD if you select a static IP. The fault would seem to be not with either package but elsewhere in Ubuntu unless they contain the same bug which seems highly unlikely. My setting are in IPv4.
address: 192.168.1.50 (three Ubuntu machines at 50, 51 and 52 to keep out of the way of the dynamic IP stuff which are always in the 30s) netmask: 255.255.255.0 (setting taken from the forums) gateway: 192.168.1.1 (the IP of my router) DNS server: 192.168.1.1 (again) search domains: blank (you may have to put something in, then remove it to be able to click "apply") WICD also needs DNS1 which is 192.168.1.1 again. This is probably obvious stuff to you guys but for someone like me for whom 9.10 is the first step into Ubuntu, it was by no means so obvious. -- Does not connect to WEP or WPA2 Enterprise networks anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/431863 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
