Comment 1 sdaau 2017-01-16 09:46:57 UTC 
Personally, I can still see the same problem in Ubuntu 14.04. It would be nice if for Network Manager applet / Edit (connections) / IPv4 Settings with Method: "Shared to other computers", one could use the "Addresses" field (which is currently greyed out for the shared method), to add an IP address which the particular network interface should be set to (and then have DHCP assign addresses to clients connecting through that connection in the same subnet of the set address).
Comment 2 Beniamino Galvani 2017-01-16 09:57:29 UTC 
Already fixed in nm-connection-editor:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/network-manager-applet/commit/?id=e8a16438d8e3696d5e818d48bd49b9c1f284fd2c

Note that before this commit it was already possible to manually modify the connection address using nmcli or editing the connection file to also change the DHCP pool served to clients.
