What's with that??? I have no clue, but it's annoying as all hell because I have a local net with drive mounts to and from my other machines. Looks like some hand-edits are in order. Best suggestions? Ric</blockquote><div> I don't know if this is still the case, but I remember reading something about NetworkManager not really handling static Ip setups very well. Can you setup for DHCP server to give you the IP you want? This is what I do with my Netgear router. I have IPs 192.168.0.2-10 reserved for this and set the router to recognize my MAC address and always give me IP <a href="http://192.168.0.2">192.168.0.2</a>. All other users get <a href="http://192.168.0.11">192.168.0.11</a> or higher. Richard </div></div>
