Please proofread your posts and use the spell checker in your mail client.
Your posts indicate that you are experiencing the X-Y Problem:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Y_problem
Computers, networks, Unix, Linux, and Debian are vast subjects. It is
difficult to know where to start. I found "Learning the Unix Operating
System" to be useful. I suggest that you buy and read it now:
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-the-unix/0596002610/
It appears that you also administer your computer. "UNIX and Linux
System Administration Handbook" is useful. I recommend that you make it
a long-term goal:
https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/unix-and-linux/9780134278308/
When posting to a mailing list, the Subject line is crucial. Yours is
ambiguous. "Debian network settings" would have been better.
It is best to begin your post by providing context -- the make and model
of your computer, what processor it has, how much memory it has, the
sizes and types of storage devices it has, what operating system(s) are
installed on it, the location(s) where the computer is used, the
network(s) it connects to, and the purposes for which the computer is used.
Then state your question. Provide relevant information. State what
research you have done and what you found.
The English language is ambiguous. Terminal sessions are unambiguous.
Use the terminal and commands when possible to provide information in
your posts. For example, to identify your Debian installation:
2025-05-19 14:52:58 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ cat /etc/debian_version ; uname -a
11.11
Linux laalaa 5.10.0-34-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.234-1 (2025-02-24)
x86_64 GNU/Linux
When responding to a reply, cite and include the relevant portion, and
then place your response immediately afterwards. For example:

Those files do not exist on my computer:
2025-05-19 15:38:42 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ ls /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts
ls: cannot access '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts': No such file or
directory
2025-05-19 15:41:40 dpchrist@laalaa ~
$ ls /etc/NetworkManager/connection-scripts
ls: cannot access '/etc/NetworkManager/connection-scripts': No such file
or directory
Please respond to the replies that others give. If you do not
understand a comment, question, or suggestion, or know the command(s) to
do so, state that and ask for clarification.
