Created attachment 314627 [details] incorrectly set Subnet Mask by Network manager Description of problem: Network Manager sets subnet mask incorrectly - instead of in example 255.255.255.0 it saves 24.0.0.0 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): NetworkManager-gnome 1:0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3675.fc9@i386 NetworkManager-glib 1:0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3675.fc9@i386 NetworkManager 1:0.7.0-0.9.3.svn3675.fc9@i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Edit connection or create a new one 2. on IPv4 Settings tab select method 'Manual' 3. enter Address: 192.168.0.23, Netmask: 255.255.255.0, Gateway: 192.168.0.1 4. Save connection and connect Actual results: Connection information shows: "Subnet Mask: 24.0.0.0" which I believe makes some of the websites inaccessible for me. Expected results: Subnet Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 as requested Additional info: I just got back from the trip, saw one bug, which I posted a week ago, "solved" by forcing downgrade, but it caused this bug to appear. I am trying to use Network manager, but it seems that wicd is currently the best option because it just works.
when connected via dhcp, sub net mask is correctly set and I can connect to all websites without any problem (although I cannot set my preferred dns).

Should be fine now; you can enter either a CIDR prefix or a netmask in the box. It'll always show what you entered as a CIDR prefix, but you can enter a netmask.
