Ubuntu
network-manager package

Am I using network-manager or am I using dhcdbd? wired connection

Asked by Shirish Agarwal

Hi all,
 I am on Intrepid and ran some updates. I disconnected my router+adsl modem and restarted again, it wouldn't start.

I would like network-manager to do my connectivity but dunno which is the right way. I have found couple of ways in which it works but then quite a few websites dont work.

Solution No. A

sudo dhclient (this works)

Solution B

1. sudo ifconfig eth0 inet 192.168.1.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.1

2. ping -c5 192.168.1.1

3. sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Both of these things seem to work but NetworkManager doesn't seem to work .

This is version 0.7~~svn20081015t224738-0ubuntu1

Regards

It seems Network-manager in the 0.7 series uses dhcp service as well.

Closing it as the answer is nm 0.7 does dhcp services so dhdcbd is no longer needed
