[Michael White]

OK thanks I think that I did it right. All those articles I read said different stuff and confused the hell out of me.

Have you read the section on Static Connections from the official
documentation?

<https://help.ubuntu.com/9.04/internet/C/connecting-wired.html>

If you are using Ubuntu 9.04, this is the set of steps you want to
follow.  The NetworkManager icon looks something like two screens
overlapping.

"Static Connections

"If you don't use DHCP then you can configure a static connection.

1. Right click the NetworkManager icon in the system notification
   area.
2. Click Edit Connections.
3. Click the Wired tab.
4. Select the connection and click Edit.
5. Click the IPv4 tab.
6. Choose Manual from the Method drop down.

[Here, click the Add button to open a new entry under Adresses.  After
you've filled in your IP address click onto the next field for each of
Netmask and Gateway to fill in those.  Enter your list of DNS servers as
a space-separated list into the DNS Servers field.]

7. Enter your details and click OK.
8. Click Close."
