I am totally a newbie to Ubuntu. I am trying to connect to LAN. Here is the screenshot of what I do in windows to connect to that network:

enter image description here

But in Ubuntu while editing connection with specific IP address I can't save it and continue. Need some help here.

Thanks in advance.

  • have you clicked on DNS server field? After clicking that field Save option become active. If that didn't help put a DNS server value something like 8.8.8.8 – Nabil Feb 24 '14 at 14:03

you can use this method :

open terminal :

sudo gedit /etc/network/interfaces

you can add the following 

iface eth0 inet static (eth0 is the name of my interface )
address (your Ip)
netmask (your netmask)
gateway (gateway)
dns-nameservers (your dns )

save and quit

It appears that you are attempting to make an Ad Hoc connection to another computer, not the router. If that is correct, please be certain that you have selected Mode: Ad Hoc. If this is not the case, please edit your question to clarify your intent.
