I can't seem to connect to a specific IP address. I think I am doing it correctly, but with all the connection problems going on I am not sure if it is me or the system.

i type the IP address in remove/add box on the connections tab and hit add. the address appears in the "connected hosts" window for a second and then gets replaced by a different host address. I was able to keep the connection up only once so far, and that was only after hitting the add button about 1,000x!

can anyone offer any assistance?

thanks
