But in Ubuntu while editing connection with specific IP address I can't save it and continue. Need some help here.

Thanks in advance.

  • have you clicked on DNS server field? After clicking that field Save option become active. If that didn't help put a DNS server value something like 8.8.8.8

you can use this method :

open terminal :

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

you can add the following

iface eth0 inet static (eth0 is the name of my interface )
address (your Ip)
netmask (your netmask)
gateway (gateway)
dns-nameservers (your dns )

save and quit
