Network Manager - static IP address

[Joe_Bloe]

Hi All,
I need to run my machine with a static IP address. I've created a connection in Network Manager with the appropriate settings, and selected the "Connect Automatically" option.

When I boot, the machine comes up with the ethernet interface configured for DHCP. The connection I created, "Static," does show up in the list of connections when I left-click on the Network Manager plasmoid, but it's not active. If I click on "Static," it activates and works properly.

Does anyone have advice for me on how to make it so that the "Static" profile activates by default?

Thanks!

Ensure that you click the > next to the connection you want to 'auto connect.' This opens an additional configuration where you can check the Use as default profile

If you can't get it to work, try this.
