removing network-manager and installing wicd should do the trick. been

Yes, there's a bug, but easy to work around. If you still want to use
network manager, when you are entering your static IP information in the
"Gateway box" Press "Enter" key when you've entered the address, rather
than clicking out of it. If I click or tab somewhere else, the changes
don't stick, but if I press Enter, they are entered correctly.

That works, but a side-effect of these problems is that now when I do
anything to access the network (ping) it tells me that the network is
not reachable. This is too much trouble for a gui, back to the server
edition.<br>
