What I ended up doing was copy my old /etc/network/interfaces file
from a working Debian install initially. I have fixed IP here, since 2
years. When I set up Hardy originally in May 2008, I just avoided
network-manager on the desktop. After a couple upgrade cycles
(Intrepid & Jaunty) I still have to go back to the
/etc/network/interfaces file. I still can connect though, although my
IP ends in .91 when it should end in .187. But it still works, and I
really don't do any services here.
