	Well I did find my mistakes.
from my /etc/network/interfaces:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
        address 10.128.128.222
        netmask 255.255.255.0
#       network 10.128.128.0
        gateway 10.128.128.1
#       dns-nameserver = 68.94.156.1
        dns-nameserver = 68.94.157.1

I misspelled address

and it did not like 2 dns.nameserver lines.

The errors it showed were not very helpfull, if it did not like something it 
would say "cannot read file interfaces", that originaly led me to believe that 
I messed up the permissions when I edited the file. learning curve.
