/ect/init.d/networking start not working

Hi I'm running bt4 final on vmware. i tried to run /ect/init.d/networking start from a shell and i get message: no such file or directory. i dug into the ect file before posting since i am new to linux and bt4 and found init.d but the child file was network not networking. however when i tried to run /ect/init.d/network start i recieved the same error message as before. after hours of pulling my hair out trying to do something that probably has a very simple solution i decided to ask for some help here. Any advice would be GREATLY appriciated as i have been very interested in this os for some time ;}

You spelled it wrong.

Code:

---

/etc/init.d/networking start

---

Suggest you read the New to Linux sticky thread in the Beginners forum.
