So after spending a DAY trying to figure out why none of the VPN setup guids seem to work for me I find the answer here.
Static IPs are often required by users and admins in corporate networks, also some home users may be statically assigned in some special configurations. Developers and consultants that move between development networks and corporate networks need the flexibility to change their configurations regularly and keep multiple profiles. I see no valid reason why it should not be supported, nor why network manager fails altogether when it is used. It is basic networking, in fact Static support should have been implemented before DHCP. -- Can't use static ip address with network-manager (and thus no VPN connections menu for static users) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/5364 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
