I have a DNS working with Windows XP 212.27.54.252
I cannot enter it in the configuration. every time i type it & add it
disappears

The set of values you gave won't suit.
The mask is checked.
here is what ifconfig gives

"cohen(a)eon16:~$ ifconfig-a
Eth0 encap link: Ethernet Hwaddr 00:04:76 and so on

Inet adr 192.168.1.26 Bcast 192.168.1.255 mask 255.255.255.0



Adr inet6: fe80::204: and so on Scope :link

UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

Received packets:14 errors 0 :0 overruns:0 frame:0

Colisions:0 lg file tranmission 1000

Received bytes:1324 (1.2 KiB) Transmitted bytes 4089

remark I don't know what is Bcast above . Note that my gate way is
192.168.1.254

does this help ?

I am using ip address. I know my IPS dns address. it works for windows XP.
the problem is that I cann't enter this DNS. If I type it in the appropriate
field, it disappears !

You put the IP addresses of your DNS servers into /etc/resolve
