network configuration problem in ubuntu 9.10

[wangyi]

 Hello, everyone!
 
I met some problem when I configure network after installation.
 
I revise /etc/network/interfaces as follows:
 
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
address 58.196.140.8
hwaddress ether 00:05:BA:58:C5:CC
netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 58.194.128.1
dns-nameservers 202.120.2.101
 
Then, I typed: 
/etc/init.d/networking restart
 
But the system said:
 
*Reconfiguring network interfaces...
SIOCADDRT: No such process
Failed to bring up eth0
 
Can anyone tell me the reason? Thanks a lot!
