The network manager shipped with ubuntu 9.04 is not working properly when you try to setup a static ip.
Here is the solution.
$ sudo apt-get remove network-manager-gnome
The edit
/etc/network/interfaces
and set the interfaces manually
Here is my interfaces file.
auto lo
auto eth1
auto eth0
iface lo inet loopback
iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0

Hi, I'm trying your Linux experimentations, I find your posts Very Informative and Simple for me.
Anyway, here's what mine looks like:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
So I just need to copy and paste yours?
What if I have these from Network Tools?
lo - loopback?
eth0 - Lan cable?
eth1 - wifi?
vboxnet0 - for virtualbox?
pan0 - dunno...
Do I need to:
auto lo
auto eth1
auto eth0
auto vboxnet0
auto pan0
?
address 192.168.0.1
netmask 255.255.255.0
For static address right?
Sorry, I was just trying to understand what's going to do these to my machine once network-manager-gnome is removed so I can troubleshoot it.
Also, what if it didn't work for me, and somehow I need to reinstall network-manager-gnome, can you pls. provide the steps on what I should do?
Thanks.

This means you have only loopback interace configured via /etc/network/interfaces.
If you uninstall network manager and plan to give static ip to each of your interface , you have to supply address and netmask.
Most probably your things like wifi will be accepting IP via DHCP which can also be configured from interfaces file.
Read man page of interfaces file
$ man interfaces
It has several examples
