Static IP on ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx

Asked by Jim deGritz

I need to set up a static ip for port forawrding. I'm running a netgear wireless router which is ethernetted (?) to this machine and runs wireless to two laptops (one running windows xp, the other windows 7). I know how to set the static ips on the other two machines, but i'm new to ubuntu so wouldn't have the faintest on where to start. Thanks for your help

R click on the gnome-networkmanager (the pie slice shaped icon made up of arcs usually, but depends upon which set of icons you are using) in the toolbar. Select edit connections, and select the tab for the connection you are using (wired, or wireless), then select the auto eth0 or the wireless connection, and click the edit button. Select the ipv4 settings tab, change the method from dhcp to manual, and enter the ip, netmask, gateway, and dns server in the spaces provided.

Can you help with this problem?
