It seems to be the root of the problem: it's better now but it's not perfect. I don't know if it can help but I just realize that one month ago I added a router between my computer and my primary gateway so I can also connect my xbox. I really don't use linux often recently and windows seems not having problem with it so that's why I forget about it. Also, can you tell me if the way I proceed to know my dns address is ok (I'm really not an expert with network stuff)? At first, I check the hosts file and the address was 127.0.0.0. To know what is my real dns address, I use my web browser on windows and login on my primary gateway to find it. I find 2 address but only the second seems to have an effect in /etc/hosts. Thanks JA
