hello thanks for your info. but before to received your info, everything
was great. i was able to set up the interfaces and resolv files and
retart the networking. it was the first time that i do that with vi !
before i used the network-manager graphical, and for the new version
9.10 both in Ubuntu and Xubuntu this application is not working. so
that's why i configured the files by myself with vi editor. wich i was
pround of myself because vi is not easy!

thanks

Nadia

Only as supplemental suggestion:

vi editor is not very easy but is powerful

i suggest you as an easy alternative to use "nano" editor

Hope this helps
