[ubuntu-in] problem in connecting to net using ethernet

[ravi h.n. shankar]

hi all,i\'m very new to ubuntu. i had downloaded ubuntu 6.06, but could notconnect to the net using BSNL broad band thru ethernet. i went thru urhelp page & performed the commands as advised - viz.sudo ifconfig eth0 up 192.168.1.2sudo route add default gw 192.168.1.1sudo vi /etc/resolv.conf following these steps, i was able to connect to the net. however, wheni tried connecting after restarting the system, it didnt work. i thentreid the same commands all over again. when i gave the command sudovi /etc/resolv.conf i got the following msgE-325 - attentionfound a swap file by name \"/etc/resolv.conf.swpit gave me 2 options1. another programme may be editing the filean edit session for this file crashed. if i proceed, i am still able to connect, but the problem persists - ihave to type the series of commands each time i connect to the net.         i also have windows XP which i was using previously with the same BSNLADSL broadband connection. ever since i started using the net on ubuntu,i am now unable to connect in windows.  since then, i have upugraded to ubuntu 7.04. i am a novice - lookingfor some simple solutions!!!thanks, ravi
