enter image description here I used to be able to share my network connection by editing the Auto Eth0 to share with other computers in the Ipv4 section and now I upgraded my laptop to 11.10 .

Now are there no wired connections in the network manager. When I click my connections applet at the top of the tray it also says wired device not managed!

when I type ifconfig -a

daniella@daniella-1001HA:~$ ifconfig -a

wired device not managed

Most probably your interface appears in /etc/network/interfaces. By default, NetworkManager does not manage interfaces that appear in /etc/network/interfaces. You can change this behaviour.

To do this - in a terminal:

sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf

change the line managed=false to managed=true

Save, stop and start network manager:

sudo service network-manager restart

Alternatively, you can remove the interface from /etc/network/interfaces.

backup the current interfaces file:

sudo cp /etc/network/interfaces /etc/network_interfaces_backup

Then open the file:

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

Delete everything in that file and copy and paste the following:

auto lo

iface lo inet loopback

Save, stop and start network manager:

sudo service network-manager restart

enter image description here

Double check in network manager (click on the indicator) that you have Enabled Networking ticked and you should also force deletion of old "wired connections" and selecting the new wired connection shown in the network manager indicator.
