Ubuntu Loses Network Settings

I am using Ubuntu 6.06LTS x86_64 distro. I have to frequently re input the correct DNS setting for my network many times a day. I dont really know how to fix this problem or where to start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem trying to use a static IP on my Kubuntu 5.10 - so I just changed it to DHCP and it works fine. It picks up IP and DNS from my router.

I've got a local static IP assigned in my network settings and it works/holds fine. I'm using 6.06 (GNOME version).
On a somewhat related note, you may want to use he 32 bit distro. Computer Hobbiest here used the 64 bit version and had quite a bit of troubles with it.

Not to completely hijack this thread, but 6.06 has fixed my issue. My exact issue was it would not hold my default gateway on restart.

Well I went ahead and installed 6.06 32 bit and it solved the problem.

faulkner132:
I was having a heck of a time with the 64bit version also. Mainly the lack of alot of 64bit versions of apps that i needed. Particularly Flash. I thought I could live without it, but that lasted about 2 days.

All I can say now is that I really love this distro, and dont ever plan on going back to "other" more expensive OS's.
