Altering /etc/network/interfaces stops some apps from working

[Mark Fraser]

In previous versions of Kubuntu I've created a static IP address by adding the interface to /
etc/network/interfaces like:

# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8) 


1) KMail was unable to fetch any images and clicking on a link in KMail brought up a "file 
not found" error.

2) Akregator wouldn't fetch from any feeds.

3) I couldn't open a link from Konsole.

For now I have had to use network manager to configure a staic IP address, but is this a 
bug or am I doing something wrong?
