Drifter, I’m having the same problem. NetworkManager will remove static IP assignments and associated routes when an interface loses its connection – which can be for instance because a switch or hub goes down for a moment. Then although it recognizes when the connection is back, it doesn’t restore the IP assignments or routes.

IMHO it is a serious error to have NetworkManager installed on anything but a notebook, or to use DHCP instead of static addresses for workstations. But getting Ubuntu to work correctly without NetworkManager is a pain; they’ve really built the system around it.

I am having intermittent connection failures booting into Ubuntu 9.04. Also if my connection drops whilst working out on the web and connects again then Ubuntu will not auto connect. Would the above instructions perhaps solve the problem too?

was able to make changes to assign static ip. but my router is showing the computer with MAC address. if I use hostname to connect its referring to old ip address. any ideas what would be the issue?

THanks
