Re: Network Manager and ADSL Dynamic IP

Sorry for the entry.

Its working fine.

Boot up today and it suddenly came to life. Maybe the latest upgrades
had something to do with it.

Tks,

Lucio

Network Manager reports DNS correctly (probably from
System/Administration/Network) but assigns an IP for a (non existent)
local net such as: 192.168.1.10 / 192.168.1.63.

After "poff dsl-provider" and "pon dsl-provider" in terminal, connection
is restored and dynamic IPs are correctly assigned such as:
201.1.152.58 (local) / 200.100.11.252 (remote).

Plog and Ifconfig confirm true net status.

Network Manager keeps reporting active network but with the same fake
local IPs.

Kept etc/network/interfaces trimmed to the minimum with no reference to
eth, but it didn't seem to make any difference but clear the
System/Administration/Network/WiredConnections option.

Previous 6.10 version was working perfectly with pppoeconf.

Did not find this bug reported anywhere. Maybe anything related to
previous scripts left by 6.10 install?

Today's updates allowed me to remove network-manager and
network-manager-gnome _without_ uninstalling ubuntu-desktop. Apparently
they've been unbundled from the meta package.

Reconfigured my static wired IP's in System|Administration|Networking,
check to make sure all was working, rebooted (hard boot) and viola! all
of my networking works again at startup :-)
