It was not meant to offend.  It was a statement of fact.  Your question 
showed that you are not used to setting up networks.  As you do not use
Debian, which requires some network setup in the raw.  You use Ubuntu 
which does this for you, or is supposed to.  Therefore when you ask 
networking questions we now know you have little knowledge of the basics
so that will require us to start asking very basic questions.

I would you suggest that the Ubuntu ML/Forum would be better suited to
your queries anyway being that you re using it and they are, probably, 
use to questions from users of your level.
