I have setup my mythtv server (runnning ubuntu 12.04) to have a static IP address.



This is required because the IPAddress must be hardcoded in the mythtv server settings and if it changes the the mythtv client will not be able to connect.



I did this using the UI (command line answers will not be accepted) using:
Network Connections -> Wired -> Edit -> IPv4



and setting the settings as follows:

This works great for mythtv however I can no longer access the internet via domain names. if I use the IPaddress it works but I can't resolve the DNS entries.



If I look at Connection Information UI it does not list any Primary DNS: (entry is not there at all) like it is when on DHCP.

How do I configure my DNS with a static IPAddress using the GUI?

As a final resort I disabled and then enabled my networking. This solved the problem. It appears that the connection manager can't apply the connection settings until the connection is restarted.



The user interface gives no indication that the settings are not yet applied. Which is really quite poor.
