Just read this on Linux news site ... Setting a static IP on Ubuntu: a<br>
beginner's guide<br>

Remember days when you had to open proper file and edit it to get connected. Do<br>

Using network manager for example<br>

Uh - you can still edit the same file to get a static ip. The only thing<br>
different from 15 yrs ago is resolvconf stuff for DNS has to be added there too.<br>
It is also safe to purge network manager from systems, if you like.<br>

a LOT of things actually reinstall NetworkManager. I've found in general, its best to leave it there and just "chkconfig NetworkManager off". and of course, use a configuration management tool such as cfengine to make sure that it STAYS off.<br>
<br>
Can't tell you the number of times that has bitten me in the butt by getting RE-enabled by some app that reinstalls it.<br>
