Ubuntu 8.10 ships with Network Manager 0.7, which comes with many features. Unfortunately, I had a difficult time trying to assign a static IP to my computer as it would get lost after each restart. I wasn’t the only one with this problem and here’s how it’s done:
Right click on the “Network Manager” icon and select “Edit Connections…”
Delete any “Auto” settings, and click “Add”
Network Manager
Click on the “IPv4 Settings” tab, and enter your network information.
Make sure you check the “System setting” checkbox. Click “OK” when done
