D'oh!

[Chris Aitken]

I've pooched my network connection on my computer (I'm using another 
computer to send this). I was trying to set up printing on ubuntu 
(which, I am delighted to say, was done automatically and completely by 
cups!). Now trying to set up to print to it's printer from another 
machine I realized the printer-attached computer has no local IP address 
(only the loopback, and the dynamically-assigned inet address). There is 
no 'neat' (what I always used to add an ip address in fedora) in ubuntu. 
So, I found a gui tool in the menu called gnome-nettool. There was no 
'add' button so I chose to 'configure' the existing interface. I gave it 
IP:192.168.0.2, mask:255.255.255.0 and gateway:192.168.0.1 (as per the 
router instructions which worked fine on fedora 7). Now I can't even get 
on the Internet AND the 'configure' button in nettool is  greyed out. D'oh!
