connection Issues with network-manager on a wired connection

[Guest]

Ok, so I was having troubles with network manager where i would have an intermittent connection to the outside world. The only fix i found that worked was to remove network-manager completely, and run

sudo dhclient eth0

It works flawlessy. My question is, Do I have to use network-manager on a wired connection(im not networked to any other computers), and if not, how would I run that command at startup so I dont have to input manually everytime?

No you don't have to have network manager at all. I always remove it on my wired machines and set up my ethernet ports manually. Since I use port aggregation I have no choice anyway.

If you want to use your dhclient command, try /etc/rc.local (omit the sudo)

I tried that. I must have misspelled something when i did it the first time because it's working now. Thanks for setting me straight. All is well.

I read that actually network commands are supposed to be in /etc/init/rc.conf rather than rc.local.

I doubt it makes much difference for a home user. Glad you got it working.
