[Bug 865001] Re: [regression] sharing a network with other computers no longer works in oneiric

 

I have exactly the same problem. But this problem appears just today,
whereas I have used my computer with no problems since less than one
week.

During the install of ubuntu 11.10 (beta 2 daily one day before the
release), an arror occured during the installation of my two computers.
Its saids that the lan installation have not be done correctly. But the
two computers (PC and laptop) worked well after that.

The PC concerned by this bug is nine and I have not tested other version
of ubuntu for comparing.

There are lot of latencies during each requests and ssh connection are
very difficult.

I have made the IPV6 to ignore and kilked dnsmasq with no issue.

Title:
  [regression] sharing a network with other computers no longer works in
  oneiric

Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have been using my laptop to share a wireless network with my
  desktop using a wired connection eth0. This has worked well in Natty,
  but in Oneiric, this no longer works properly. I'll provide the steps
  I followed:

  1) clean install of Oneiric 64bit from October 2nd. (I've used several others too with the same results)
  2) set up wireless. No problems.
  3) select the wired interface in nm-connection-editor, edit and Method: shared with other computers in the IPv4 page. 

  What happens is that the network is configured and works, but only for
  a few seconds. Then the network goes into a loop of
  connect/disconnect. I can use the shared connection on the desktop to
  a certain degree, but it becomes extremely slow and things like IRC
  cannot be used since the connection is dropped every two seconds or
  so.

  If I boot a Natty live session, this works perfectly using the exact
  same settings. I will attach my syslog.
