I was basically trying to use the Network Manager GUI as described in the first section of the help.ubuntu.com document. It doesn't work for me.  I have performed the same steps on another system, non-Ubunut/Debia, and it worked flawlessly. Really don't want to go through all the CLI stuff to make this work when it is suppose to be a simple "Share to Other Computers" setting for Eth0.


I am going to try this on another computer later on this evening (in a few hours) to see if the problem is unique to this system or consistent with Lucid 10.04. 


Thanks for the reply.

Clint
