[Bug 176949] Static IP configuration gives "default gateway IP address is invalid" error

[David Faure]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kde-systemsettings

Just after installing kubuntu gutsy, I tried to configure networking. In systemsettings, Network Settings, Network Connections, admin mode, Configure Interface.
I set the following manual IP settings:
IP = 192.168.0.7
netmask  = 255.255.255.0
broadcast = 192.168.0.255
gateway = 192.168.0.254
Clicked OK, and then Apply in the systemsettings module --> the error "The default Gateway IP address is invalid" error appears.
I don't see why - it's my gateway address and it's within the subnet, so it's definitely valid.
And when closing systemsettings all the changes are lost!!


I did the same configuration manually in /etc/network/interfaces and things are working okay now, so this is obviously a bug in the GUI.
